Gripping story with well-crafted characters
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
View Moreit had been 45 minutes shorter and if the scenes with two thugs beating Dave to a gruesome pulp had been left on the cutting room floor. Not only did this brutality conflict with the humor, the concept of two male thugs brutalizing another male for the sake of the pink conspiracy made no sense. But this aside, the movie dragged due to Dave pausing to express his exasperation and frustration at every opportunity. Twice would have sufficient for us to get the message. The concept of the movie has great potential and perhaps should be re-shot by either the original director or another director who is able to create a movie that moves along a bit faster while still conveying the emotion, conceptual theme, and plotting of the original (without the brutality).
View MoreThis movie is a really funny idea. I thought it was gonna be a John Tucker must die rip off but this was damn original. I almost wish I could see this same movie but written by women, although the guys who made this came up with some really funny stuff. Best part is the casting, having 2 Angel stars lead the rebellion was a great choice. The main actor is cute enough to feel sorry for and he did a great job carrying the movie. It was pretty funny seeing him get his butt kicked throughout by all his girlfriends. Nursey is hilarious too. If not for Mercedes McNab and Sarah Thompson, see pink conspiracy for Nursey. They should do a sequel just based on him.
View MoreI initially picked this movie up because of Mercedes McNab. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that there is also another Angel star in here too - Sarah Thompson. It was a lot of fun watching them together in something so different than what they did in Angel (and Buffy). That aside, I enjoyed the movie. At first glance it seems like it would definitely be more of a guys movie but there's a lot in here for the girls too. Most of the characters were pretty over the top but that made it all the more fun. My only frustration with The Pink Conspiracy is that you never find out if Dave (B. Snedeker) and Katie (S. Thompson) end up together at the end. They kind of leave it open ended, which I guess for some is all good. I personally wanted to know what happens to them. Overall, a fun movie with some friends and some drinks.
View MoreI ordered this movie off Amazon.com and watched it with my husband and some friends on a Saturday night. A perfect film for sushi, wine, and light conversation. The cast was entertaining in the aspect that you didn't expect them to be who they were. I ended up watching it a 2nd time and found it to be even better than the first. It's a very witty, sensitive, borderline chick movie, with parts that will make you laugh out loud. It's nice to see a movie from a man's point of view in the romantic genre, even if it is unlikely. Really makes you wonder if women really are just the crazy ones! I look forward to watching this movie and third time.
