Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I have to say, for an unrated movie, I found it very enjoyable. Yes it was rather silly at times, though it wasn't too bad. At least it wasn't like Romeo and Juliet, where they kill themselves in the end because of their families not agreeing with their love! In the movie, Alex seemed to be a very outgoing Greek-Australian guy but what I couldn't understand was - why on earth did he ask his students to give him love advice? Does he have friends at all? That was kinda freaky because in reality, no teacher would tell their students their own personal life. Even though this is meant to be a romantic goofy story, the character should've been more stricter and reserved in my opinion. At least he's not a dumbass and stands up for himself when it comes to his family pressuring him to marry a Greek girl!Eve doesn't seem to be that Lebanese girl you normally don't see. She really likes to show herself off even if she's not suppose to haha. She's quite the girly girl but at the same time, she's not a brave one as Alex is. She probably could do with opening up to get her parents, this would make them realise that they shouldn't make her marry the man she doesn't love, and marry Alex whom she is deeply in love with. At least in the end, herself and Alex were whisked away as a married couple. They had to be together anyway, they were definitely meant for each other! I absolutely loved her headpiece as its beautiful and different♡This movie was a pleasure to watch, it was different and it was good learning from different cultures between Lebanon & Greece together. It isn't one of my favorite movies I've seen but, I would advise anyone to watch it as it is watchable! I would give this film a 8/10.

Guys only watch this movie if you want to be disappointed, its the most cliché, cheesy and awkward film ever. The people who have wrote reviews on this film are obviously very delusional or I believe they have watched a completely different film and are confused don't mind them, Or worst case scenario they actually enjoyed this terrible recording on camera they call a film I don't know how to comment all I can say is I pity the critics as they have probably never seen a good film before. This movie made me feel stressed and feel sorry for the actors as they seem uneasy throughout the entire film. Plain and simple this movie was just bad due to the poor directing, bad actors and the film soundtrack being played from a cheap CD ROM. I'm sorry but that's truth and I really don't know what else to say, don't believe me go watch it and ENJOY !!!!.

With 'Unindian', 'Learning to Drive' and now 'Alex & Eve' all receiving big screen releases in October in Australia at one time; the themes of love and unity in spite of cultural differences are being substantially explored. The American indie 'Learning to Drive' is about when opposites collide; whilst the other two Australian productions are love stories bringing two very different cultures together and finding hope and unity in often comical situations.'Alex and Eve' is a really delightful film and a solid 8 out of 10 from me. It is a little less broad than 'Unindian', but still has its laughs from some obvious stereotypes and scenarios. Adapting his own play, Alex Lykos successfully brings his group of characters into urban settings and locations and seasoned director Peter Andrikidis, an award winner in television dramas, has extracted fine performances from a large and diverse cast. For me the star of the picture is the luminous Andrea Demetriades. I'd only seen her work on 'Janet King' a television legal drama, and instantly fell in love with her in this role. The actress has created a fully fleshed and believable character; giving her enough flaws but strengths to want an audience to barrack for her. Her co-lead Richard Brancatisano has a heroic journey to undertake here, and he performs the comic shtick as well as the gravitas required. This is often a laugh out loud comedy, as the larger than life supporting characters give the film heart as well as edge. I was particularly impressed with Tony Nikolakopoulos as the young man's father, and Zoe Carides, a veteran of stage and screen as his mostly even tempered wife. My only criticisms are located in the teaching sequences and some of the dialogue and direction of the young cast playing the students. It defied plausibility for me, but there was so much else to embrace in this movie that it didn't detract too much. It is heartening to see so many movies and TV shows now dealing with multi cultural communities and in particular here, romance and love between people from different backgrounds. I enjoyed 'Alex & Eve' more than 'Unindian' (Brett Lee's leading role) as it felt weightier and with more comedic touches that hit the mark. I hope it finds an audience, and I know that for Andrea Demetriades it will be the first of many leading roles on screen. This is a well made, thoughtful and enjoyable movie.
