Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
View MoreA movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
View MoreWhile it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
View MoreThis film is simple in plot line---the growth from a one-night stand of a relationship that is expected to end as one party has to leave in a few days---but manages to build the characters with a mixture of soliloquy, quick comment from friends, reaction to fast sexual progression, and so on. It gives the feeling that it was once a stage play, but does not suffer for this. It has a few amusing weird bits, like the taxi driver. It is no blockbuster, but it is well-acted, well photographed, well scripted, has an interesting ending, and is generally warming, while succeeding admirably in making you see the characters without seeing their appearance.
View MoreTrue, this movie did make you feel as though you'd had indulged in reading the forbidden secrets of the opposite sex via some skeezy mag ( ieCosmo / Maxim ), but it was refreshingly honest, and grotesquely intimate. I like how up close and personal the camera gets..... celebrating every glorious flaw.The cheezy backdrops during the mock interviews and the disappointing use of the taxi driver were minuses, but the accurate and equal argumental voices given to both the male and female was a crisp break from the "sex and the city" type shows out there that propagate the weak and ugly male and the insecure and scheming female stereotype.Recommended.
View MoreBut not better than sex. This was a NICE movie. However, it's all been done before, and there was nothing to make it really stand out. What's more, bits of it irritated me.I liked the fact that the two leads were not your typical romantic leads in the looks department. Great bods, but quirky faces. It made a nice change. A bit closer to reality, that is until you see them wake up after a night of raunchy sex with perfect hair and make-up, not a trace of sleep in the eye or dribble on the lips.And there was a shot of "the blokes" where they were all siting around the teev, with beer on the coffee table. Realistic, n'est-ce pas? Not when all the beer is Crown lager. What a sell-out! I wonder who sponsored the post-production booze-up for this movie. Shame!
View MoreHaha, i should know! but i'd seen everything else or not wanted to see whatever else was there generally, i thought it warn't too good anyway. concept was clever but it seemed to want to be one of those independent gen-x movies, but with more sex. i think i would have enjoyed it more if i weren't sitting there on a first date with a guy i really liked, squirming (which i never do) at ugly people having bad sex. but hey, i guess i deserved it.
