Disturbing yet enthralling

... View MoreNothing really spectacular and memorable about this comedy. The number of different characters that get thrown at the viewer once the movie starts is remarkable. Too bad that during the movie the character numbers just keep piling up and it gets quite confusing who's who and what the relationship dynamics of each character are. Some of the characters don't really get explored at all so, I guess, they are in the movie for comedic purposes, but they don't play that role very well, which in turn spoils the movie somehow. There are some okay jokes here and there, but most of them feel plain.The same can be said about the acting - decent performances are mixed with poor ones and the result is nothing special.
... View MoreWhere to begin with this movie that tried to be good, that I wanted to be good and that ended up not achieving either goal. I really liked this movie when I watched it, it kept me entertained, I laughed at some of the comedy, and I was glad that there was a happy ending. But upon further reflection I was entertained by a shoddy story, there wasn't enough laughter and the ending didn't make sense and now seems a little forced.So what went wrong? I think this movie had too many story lines trying to compete for attention and so to fit them all in leaps had to be made to move them along and those leaps made them feel artificial. Like the story line about the mother finding out that her daughter is a lesbian. First there's a fight, then the mother prays to the saints for her daughter to not be gay, then she can't understand why her daughter is gay, then all she wants is for her happiness and finally she schemes to get her daughter and the main character together. Now all these points along a plot would be tough to tackle in its own movie let alone tackling along with 10 other plot points, so by the end we have a converted mother who we never really could see or understand why she converted when she did.This alone is frustrating except when you add people who don't progress very far, as one reviewer said one dimensional characters who only stick to their one ad nauseum story and then hook ups left and right that don't make sense. And then the ending where (stay with me) the lesbian turns straight, the straight becomes a lesbian (again) and the gay guy gets a few stereotypical lines about a dress fitting him. All in all a frustrating movie that has too many stories going on and at the end too little going for it in the way of believability...Argh!
... View MoreWow this was bad. The only reason I rented it in the first place was because I went to school with Lara Harris (she plays Kelly, and what a horrible English accent! Stick to modeling, Lara!) I couldn't even get through the whole thing and didn't even realize it was about lesbians until I came here to read the reviews. That's how bad it was. I rented it via Netflix and 20 minutes into it, ejected the smelly thing from my DVD and immediately mailed it back. Ack, it was awful! The characters were one-dimensional at best. Porn star named Spring Dawn? Gay sidekick? Obnoxious materialistic straight friend? Slacker brother? Dare I go on? I didn't even see the main character April or her fiancé Paulie on screen because I didn't get that far. As God is my witness, I shall never rent another movie without reading more reviews!
... View MoreTrish Doolan has made an awesome, romantic Comedy about people, with all their insecurities, and love.This movie isn't like some other lesbian-themed movies, it is excellent made, the actors are real good and the storyline isn't gloomy or self-destructive, but fast-paced and hilarious. But that is probably because this movie is about people, not just lesbians.She plays Alex, a chef, preparing the perfect shower for her former roommate April. It all starts with a happy couple and some guests, who could be more different. Revealing that she and April had not only been roommates but lovers is the beginning of a chaos, that lets all people at the shower re-examine their own lives. In the end we have a burning house, a happy couple and this sensation of a real Feel-Good-Movie.
