Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I don't agree with why this film exists really. It was crowd sourced with the draw to internet users by having half of the DOLLHOUSE cast in it. The target audience of 'people who don't care at all what these actors are in but are just happy to see them on their screens' seem pretty happy with the finished product, but I don't really. It's a completely clichéd story of some nerdish guy who doesn't think he can really talk to girls trying to win his ex back and finding love in other places along the way. The actors all have this great likable quality that makes them fun to watch and they really do their best with the bland characters they have to work with. This film isn't half as likable as it thinks it is, it's pretty bland and formulaic. You'll have fun seeing these actors and you'll like them but not really the characters. Pretty much a waste of time.

I'm proud to have been a Kickstarter backer for this movie, it turned out to be everything I'd hoped it would be. As a dedicated fan of Joss Whedon's for over a decade, it was both exciting and fulfilling to see so many of my favorite actors reunited for this gem of a romantic comedy. The fact that the writers and actors put so much time and effort into creating this film given the budget restraints truly shows their passion for storytelling and makes watching it all the more rewarding. The writing was witty, creative, and honest as it looked at the complicated world of dating and love. The chemistry between the cast helped bring the characters to life from the beginning of the film, making me laugh and sympathize with them along the way. Lust for Love is a definite must see...

I can't believe how boring this movie was. I do not know what was up with the camera either, whenever they had a close-up the background would shake. Very cheap dumb movie the only reason I watched it was I was super bored. I love actors in the movie, but the plot was very predicable and just leading up to it was so drawn out. I kept telling myself it would get better and be worth watching, but that was so not true. Save yourself the yawning and watch something with more depth and story line. I really just kept thinking this would be a great movie if Dichen just turned into a vampire and killed them all, but that was just wishful thinking.

While we wait for Joss Whedon's own scifi/romance movie "In Your Eyes," those of us who have become enamored of the many talented actors he has worked with and whose careers he has cultivated over the years have something to watch. "Lust For Love" is a Kickstarter-funded, Web-based (so far) project that reunites several of the cast members of Whedon's short-lived but brilliant TV series "Dollhouse" -- Fran Kranz, Dichen Lachman, Enver Gjokaj, Miracle Laurie, Maurissa Tancharoen, and Felicia Day. They obviously became close during their "Dollhouse" experience, and that closeness just as obviously carries over into this delightful rom-com.I'll be honest and state that I'm probably too old to appreciate this movie. It seems aimed at an audience 20-somethings, and as such I would say that it succeeds admirably. Kranz is tremendous as the nebbishy Astor, hoping beyond hope to get back together with the narcissistic girl of his dreams Mila (played by non-Whedon-alum Beau Garrett). Towards this end he secures the services of Mila's ex-best friend Cali (played superbly by Dichen Lachman, who also co-produced this film). Much embarrassment and dating horror ensue, almost all of it portrayed with heart, and a fairly light heart at that. This is not one of those cynical movies about dating and romance.It was great to see many of the "Dollhouse" actors together again, and those who loved them will probably be the first audience for this film. But I thought that the film (written and directed by first-timer Anton King) has merits of its own, and I hope it reaches a wider audience. I suspect that it could stand on its own among the classics of young-people romance films, up there with "Say Anything."
