TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
fatimajones One of Samaire Armstrong's first movies and right funny, even if it is a mite cornball and cartoonish. This is not at all a surprising tone really, since the writer and director Sheppard is a veteran writer of some of great animated cartoons including Steven Spielbergs Pinky and Brain. The actors are funny and seem to be having a good time. I love Samaire but also enjoyed the others too. Johnathon Penner is wonderful and Stephanie Beacham too. All of them really. Brad Rowe remind me of young Robert Redford. I like Susan Ward from Sunset Beach, and she has really grown up since then. She is a good comedy actress - surprised me! The camera work is nice and the music was pretty also. I love it myself and laughed a lot.
updaterfroggy A certainly low budget film, but flat-out hilarious in spots. Using Oscar Wilde's silly farce as a mere jumping-off point, once the somewhat labored set-up is through, the film crackles along with outrageously silly set-pieces, especially the one featuring a horny llama. The actors are very good, doing a sort of heightened "old-Hollywood" over the top delivery. Samaire Armstrong (from Dirty Sexy Money and Entourage) is amazing. Jonathan Penner is deliciously creepy. Brad Rowe has a wicked mustache. Susan Ward is gorgeous and very cute. Kenny Banya from Seinfeld is in it, and he's very funny. If you're looking for highbrow, this ain't it. If you want to watch a really stupid, fun comedy - sort of a low budget version of Farrely Bros. stuff, then go for it.
Penny Sandler Brad Rowe! Susan Ward! Samaire Armstrong! A great indie cast puts in truly funny performances in this sparkling and fresh romantic comedy. The film manages to be both cynical and hopeful in its outlook on love, and straddles a fine line of highbrow and lowbrow humor pretty successfully. Susan Ward, the bad girl with a heart of stone from "The In Crowd" makes a 180 degree turn here from her previous tough chick roles, and she is just great as a slightly neurotic, insecure but lovable beauty. I never would have expected this type of character from her, but she's fantastic. Brad Rowe is a charming dweeb, and his character's insecurity works. Samaire Armstrong finally gets a leading role, and it's her best performance ever! She's probably got the most complex role in the film (I won't spoil the surprise), and plays the varying levels of her character to perfection. Jonathan Penner (loved him in "The Last Supper" with Cameron Diaz) comes on with a vengeance as a classic dirt bag. There is a definite Woody Allen style to this film, with much swift funny dialog and smart, unobtrusive direction that never gets in the way of the film's main asset, the performances.
lawtonmuhmind I caught this on TV while vacationing in Greece, and really enjoyed it, so I was happy to see it's out on DVD now, and picked up a copy. Samaire Armstrong is absolutely adorable in this. I had no idea she was actually funny (she never did much for me on the O.C.), but her character in this is a real hoot. Likewise, Susan Ward manages to be funny and sexy at the same time. In fact, the whole cast appears to be having a great time -- the guy who played Kenny Bania on Seinfeld is so funny as a weirdo priest, and he nearly steals the whole film -- but the Llama really steals the show. Never been a big Brad Rowe fan, but he's a good straight man amid all the craziness. He's maybe a bit too handsome to be totally believable as a guy who has trouble meeting women, but then again, he's got a creepy mustache, and that's probably working against him. All in all, a fun, silly little comedy. Some uneven moments, but more laughs than you get from the big Hollywood comedies.
