When her best friends meet, fun-loving, flashy Gwen Stanley (Erin Stamp) falls hard and fast for the passionate,impetuous Kyle Montgomery (Adam S. Dixson). The introduction of beautiful yet insecure Allison, (Casey Litzenberger) creates a love triangle which becomes a square with the addition of Della's eccentric new friend Jeff (Eric Witkowski). Della is caught in the middle as her friends fall in and out of love and is forced to come to terms with her own feelings for the men in her life.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I was dragged to a screening of this after already being disappointed by the trailer. As the movie dragged on, I was really hoping I would find something I liked, even if it was the humor of just how bad it was.Unfortunately, it never happened. The acting was extremely overdone with forced dialogue trying to mimic that of Hugh's films. There were so many lines that you could just tell were right out of a script. There were various points in the movie that were blatant rip-offs from other movies (but executed poorly ie: Silent Ben). I couldn't relate to any of the characters at all. The actor's delivery on many times fell short and flat with unrealistic scenarios.A major distraction of this film was the terrible audio. In between the difficulty of getting past the shotty performances and ghastly dialogue, the audio was extremely irritating. There's nothing more annoying than poorly executed audio and sound. It really takes away the quality of film.The only positive attributes I condone for this film would be the selection of music, though, repetition of the same song does not highlight an otherwise 'train wreck' of a movie.All in all, I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

FDLFD follows Della and her friends as they work their way through small-town romantic entanglements, all of which seem to fly past Della. Created and Directed by Rhonda Parker as a student film it is impossible to say there are no weak spots in the script or the acting, but the overall tone of the film, the fairly unique approach of a making a romantic comedy with no real action sequences lends a warmer feel to the production.Shortcomings can be forgiven easily because the main characters are engaging and the relationships, and the pangs from the relationships, are believable. This does not have the feel of a vanity project. Every once in a while genuine laughs slip in and liven the film up. Comedy is a difficult thing to master, subtle comedy more-so.Extremely small-level indie projects like this that rely on character and require time to play out are a rarity, and should be encouraged.I am impressed with this film and, for the sake of transparency, I am proud to have been one of the fund-raising contributors, albeit on a small scale. I want to see what Rhonda comes up with next.

It was very enjoyable! The characters all had their own persona, the background music was amazing as well as the story and quality. The sound quality could have been better but overall it was very enjoyable. Hard to take your own attention away from it. It was funny, a nice twist in it. I enjoyed the multiple landmarks from our town and neighboring towns. The local actors were very passionate about their roles. The feeling was good all around. The lighting itself was wonderful. Being able to connect with the main character... It was definitely something to brag about. I called up and messaged some of my friends seeing their own persona's and situations being acted out. Hey it's true! Friends don't date friends!

The story will exceed the expectations of every person ever in love. The emotions of joy to sadness, love to hatred, friendship to a broken heart are clearly depicted within each scene. The director visually captured the emotions felt by several different characters in each scene, giving the ability to honestly sense the storyline. The ability to feel the emotions of the characters is captured through various sights, sounds, and places, just as they would play out in real life. It is very well written, and the directing captures every angle imaginable. I admire the extra steps taken to promote the locality of it's filming area. The larger than life steps taken by all involved, to ensure this film is a success, are commendable. The actors and actresses clearly understand the characters they are playing and their emotions are portrayed as if they've lived it before. I am impressed with how well the film was supported and received by the locals where most of the film was shot. I cannot recommend this movie enough!
