I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Loveless in LA is actually darn good. It has some nice vignette touches in the comedy, and overall mixes romance, and straight-up humor, with the kind of slacker humor that made 40 year old virgin and Apatow a hit.We really liked it for its take on the horrors of dating in LA, it's running gags (TV exec who must extrapolate his vocabulary) and lot of small nice touches. It looks like lots of favors were called in to make this into what it is: the locations, and filming are nicely done.Shot in no time, on no budget, it is uneven in places, but if you like romantic comedies this is much better than most, and for a first time effort the script really shines.Sharp, funny, well written, and acted: this is slack, droll, and just plain lovely in places. Would rent and watch again...
