Am I Missing Something?

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

I doubt more people have seen this , it is a low budget gem , set in ordinary daily life and relates to work , friends and pursuit of love but it does so with absolute hilarity , thanks to the tight story , fine direction , perfect dialogues and nice acting .

I love the opening. Making me feel like it's gonna be a very awesome movie. But it turned out to be average, actually. But it's still funny like The Hangover, especially when Neal had a fight with his friend and a few passer by watch them talking harshly to each other. I believe this movie will be more special if only... I don't know how to answer it. And I think Neal's ex-girlfriend looks older than him. I thought she was her sister. I like the view here. I hope there will be more scenes when Neal is still employed. Because I wanna see his working environment and his friend there. And why there is always a character like Neal who is a loser among his friends? So typical, but not boring.

The script is great and with some more jokes, a faster pace, bigger budget and some comedy star actors it would have been a box office hit. Instead it is a low budget movie and very good one. A nice romantic comedy, a feel good movie - that's it. The actors are nor a disappointment, but also nothing in comparison to some known faces in comedy. The best pick in this movie is the crazy neighbor. This one plays the part good and the character is believable. The main character Neil is OK, and the part of the sad single man with the broken heart is played well. The movie would be better if he could have added some comedic element. There were many possibilities for this with all the women in the bars. He didn't have to be always sad looking. A very good thing was the length of this movie with just 77 minutes. They had obviously no more money in the budget and maybe no more lines, so by not adding some boring material only to get 90 minutes and more they deserve credit for this. But the potential of this script!! Instead of making an awful movie like the internship, Vince Vaughn would have made this an awesome movie.

Indie romantic comedies are often treacherous waters to splash around in. Mostly they are not either as romantic or as funny as they need to be and it can be awkward to watch the 'fairly inexperienced' actors fumble around attempting to be loving or intimate. I am pleased to say that 'Love, Sex & Missed Connections' is not one of those films. With a fantastic 'Office Space' vibe, the film had me laughing out loud on several occasions.Writer and lead Kenny Stevenson, director Eric Kissack and producer Lisa Rudin present, what is described as "the story of a guy named Neal. Neal's been trying to get over a traumatic break up with his ex-girlfriend by doing what anyone would do... tricking women on the Internet. Neal's plan is going amazingly well, until he meets Jane, who just may be as devious as he is."The central conceit being that Neal's reprobate friends, in order to cheer him up, hatch a plan to get him laid. This involves having him reply to 'Missed connection' posts on a Craigslist- like site, showing up, observing the woman in question waiting for her mystery man and when he, obviously, doesn't show up, swooping in to seal the deal. Remarkably it works until he finds Jane, the woman with the blue shoes, out there gaming the system and the two become drawn together. It's a strong enough set up on which to hang a series of hilarious interactions between Neal and his friends, Neal and the women, Neal and his family and Neal and his Ex. The film survives on the strength of the script and the likability of the performers.Everyone involved in the production has a history in comedy from the Director editing Role Models and the Producer working with Bill Maher and Sasha Baron Cohen to almost everyone in the cast being in one comedy theatre group or other, mainly the Groundlings, and this is my main reason for wanting you to see this film. It's really funny. I know this sounds like a stupid and even offensive point to make but they even bother to make the women funny. In most Rom-Coms the Women are victims of supposed male charm, looks or apparent superiority, slaves to their emotions and, surprisingly, either dull or, worse, cutesy. This is even true when the film is written by a woman! Not so with Love, Sex & Missed Connections, despite what, on the surface, may start out as a fairly misogynistic premise, the main two women in the film, played by, the wife of the lead, Dorien Davies and Sami Klein are written and performed as interesting, funny, complex and different. It's refreshing.While there's nothing particularly new about the male roles in the film, again think Office Space or The Hangover, they are still well observed and played by charismatic, funny actors (Shane Elliot, Alex Enriquez, Abe Smith and Scott Beehner) who you enjoy spending time with.Also, the film doesn't say a whole lot of anything new about relationships or the battle of the sexes, anymore than the next Tom Cruise movie will say anything new about being an upright, respectable, everyman, super spy with a ready quip and neat fighting abilities but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be watched and enjoyed. The central premise is one you haven't heard of before and there are some wonderful little, subtle moments in the film that really make it something different. The observation that, when depressed, the character makes the life changing move of walking everywhere, certainly in LA, feels like a novel little detail in the movie. Funny, charming, well put together and worth a watch! It's Office Space for the Internet dating generation
