The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
View MoreUnshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
View MoreThis is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
View MoreThis film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
View MoreThere are small, independent films with gay themes that are gems, like 'Trick', and, 'But I'm a Cheerleader'. Sometimes these small films can be a bit amateurish, with poor lighting, sound, and sets but the movies are good so you can forgive the little issues. Unfortunately, 'Walk a Mile in My Pradas' is not in league with either of these films and the tech problems are magnified because the plot is so thin and the jokes so forced and unfunny. If you have seen the trailer for Walk a Mile in My Pradas then you have already seen the best jokes in the film. This movie uses a gimmick that has been used many times in other movies and works even less in this film. I gave it a 2 because that was how many times I actually laughed. I was expecting more.
View MoreA body swap comedy with a gay twist.The acting and production values are pretty good for a lower budget film. Unfortunately the script is incredibly clichéd and pretty offensive to anyone not young, white, slim and straight.I couldn't work out who the target audience was for this film and if the message was tolerance it got lost along the way. Was it deliberately offensive or was I left feeling soiled by sheer laziness? I'm not sure, but I do know after watching this film that the things that make straight men and gay men different are that straight men can fix cars with no prior knowledge of how to do so, drink beer and play air guitar; whilst gay men smell flowers, drink cosmopolitans and dance.
View MoreOnce again we have a movie for straight people classified as "gay" because it has a gay character in it. This one even has a gay/straight theme, but if it was made by or for gay people they must be self-loathing gay people.Who thinks it's funny to see a straight man turn gay? straight women. Who thinks it's funny to see a gay man turn straight? straight men. I guess there are also people who think magical role-reversal movies like Freaky Friday are hilarious and don't care what roles are being exchanged; and people who guffaw at extremely obvious lowbrow sitcom humor no matter what the subject is. As a gay man who outgrew adolescent squirming a long time ago, I find this kind of garbage annoying.(I don't see how even straight people can find this relentlessly offensive and mean-spirited "humor" entertaining. The vicious treatment of a straight fat girl is especially appalling; she's completely irrelevant to the story and is stuck in only so her desperation can be savagely ridiculed.)Being gay is wonderful. I love it. If changing sexual orientation were possible (and it's not), I wouldn't turn straight if you gave me a billion dollars, and I really mean it. Any gay man who thinks being gay is something that should make a straight man squirm and pee in his pants - who thinks switching sexual orientation is funny - either is an idiot or secretly (or not so secretly) wishes he weren't gay.This movie is pretty well done for its inherently offensive kind, but if a single cent of gay money went into making it, the ones who invested that money should rethink their priorities.
View MoreI was given this DVD as a Christmas gift and I finally watched it last night. The only actor I'd heard of in it was Tom Arnold but once I started watching, I recognized several other actors and they were all really good. Despite it being a switching places type of movie I found it very original. I found myself laughing out loud several times but there were also parts that were very moving. Had I known how good it was, I wouldn't have watched it alone and I would have opened a few months earlier! I'm surprised this movie wasn't in theatres, seems very commercial for an independent film. My favorite character was Sister Betty ...brought back painful childhood memories lol that actress looked very familiar. The two leads were very good as well and believable. A lot of really funny scenes. I will probably watch it again when it gets closer to Christmas.
