Pretty Good

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Without any condemnation, this is a very interesting film with split-screen technology that potentiates the dichotomy of a mother and father coming to an uncommonly candid explanation of each person's selfish and myopic reasons for a Love Boat affair, yet with none of the self-realization or self-loathing of their 'free love' escapades in the late 60's to mid-70's effect on the children, one of whom is filming her mother and father. The psychological miasma never seems to coalesce into a coherent regret, yet the angst between the women is palpable; and that makes this short film all the more powerful as the audience must come away with their own view of two parents taking a trip on the 'memory love boat'. The director did a spectacular job of visually and verbally displaying this sexual yin-yang story.

The multi-panel wide screen piece manages to generate some interest as the now aged protagonists discuss their past in a BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE set up, that had them changing partners and moving from house to house early morning, to bluff the children.Interviews in moving cars are spaced with photos.They now look back on this with some curiosity, concluding that it was something you didn't find "not in middle class America." The film seems to have found a public, turning up on the festival circuit, where it has some novelty value.Technically adequate
