Fantastic!
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

View MoreA clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Disclaimer: I only watched this because I have a thing for Dichen Lachman. Suffice to say, it's worse than the worst of the worst rom-coms, loaded down with every rom-com cliché ever written and used to death over the past 50 years. They even managed to cast the goddess known as Beau Garrett but we don't get to see her in a bathing suit or in her underwear. What's the point of casting a babe in a low budget indie if we don't get to at least see her legs or something? The storyline and scenes are almost word for word identical to about 500 other films and about as predictable as rain in spring time.Trust me, you've seen it all before.
View MoreI'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...
View More"Disappointed" is the word that springs to mind after finishing this film for the first time. After watching the trailer I was sure this would be a hit - what could go wrong with throwing together a load of Dollhouse alum in front of the camera? Apparently, almost everything. Fran Kranz, as always, plays his role brilliantly considering what he had to work with and is, in my opinion, the film's only saving grace. The acting in general is largely wooden, the directing is flat and uninteresting, the plot is cliché and predictable, but most of all - the script is horrendous. The writer seems to opt for a snappy Whedon-esque form of dialogue that falls so flat for the most part, it can be painful to watch. I can only express my sincerest condolences to those who backed this project on Kickstarter, and were looking forward to this film as much as I was.
View MoreI'm one of the 1519 kickstarter backers so maybe I am a little biased. This has been a long time coming. The estimated release once was June 2012! The film turned out pretty good. You don't see the tiny budget it had. The kickstarter ended with about $100.000 but they ran out of money during production so it definitely cost more than that. But I have seen independent movies with 10 times the budget which looked cheap and amateurish compared to this. The selections for the soundtrack also fit very well.The best thing about this movie is the cast. There are great actors even in tiny roles. And Franz Kranz proves once more how good he is. Dichen Lachman is also great in this but I love her anyway.Unfortunately the film is a little lacking story wise. You just have to read the plot summary (guy dates girl, girl leaves guy, guy goes to his female friend and asks her to help him win her back)to know there this is going. But the movie has some very funny parts and the story at least is told in an interesting way. Just don't expect any big surprises.Overall I can recommend to watch it if you have the chance. If you are a Dollhouse fan this is a must see.
