Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
View MoreWhile it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
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 MoreI absolutely loved this movie. The characters are so real, I feel like I know someone just like the ones in this movie, every single one of them. I don't want to give way the ending but, I haven't seen a more realistic and matter of factish movie in this genre yet. It's hilarious, it has negative shades, twists and turns that you would not expect! I don't even know which "box" I should put this movie into. Is it comedy? romantic? drama? suspense? But isn't life just like that too? What box would you put your life into? Is your life a comedy? tragedy? suspense? drama?... Now you know what I am talking about. This movie is just as real as life can get! Very well made!
View MoreA waste of time. Watching ice melt is probably more interesting. 1 commentator said was not 'chick flick' but that is the only redemption I can see is that women may like this film.The notion that Lorenzo, who is getting lots of women, is tortured over his inability to find a lasting relationship is pure female fantasy. Lorenzo is in his late 20s. If Lorenzo was in his his late 30s or more it might be credible.Also the emasculation of Jimmy was not credible.The biggest problem with the movie besides nothing interesting happening is I just kept wondering why I am suppose to care about these characters.Very ordinary people who I might be friends with in real life but they are not my friends, and I wouldn't want to watch a movie about any of my friends since they are ordinary people. Watching I just keep thinking I don't care about these people and there is no compelling reason for me to care about them.
View MoreI had the chance to preview this movie earlier this year. Being labeled as a movie to entertain both sexes, I was a bit reluctant to watch it. I have been sucked into the romantic-dramady many times by being told it was made for all of us. SO, that being said, I was ready to be let down yet again. My final verdict .This was most definitely NOT a chick flick!!! The chemistry on screen between the actors was exceptional and the story was well thought out and lacked the usual bits of downtime. You know the type of movie that I'm referring to. Where you have 30 minutes of intense plot that leads up to 45 minutes of insane fumbling where the writers couldn't think of anything original to fill the time, Only to end in an unbelievable climax in the last 10 minutes of the film .This was not that movie! For once I was surprised at the twists and turns this plot took and the ending was up in the air until the final minute. I found myself relating to several of the characters and actually rooting for several of them in the end. I can't say if I have seen a more clever debut for a director,(The next Kevin Smith?!?). Low budget but High in quality!
View MoreI was one of the few people who had the opportunity to watch a screening of this magnificent Romantic comedy called X's and O's and I can attest that it kept me entertained from the beginning to the end. Unlike most Romantic Comedies, X's and O's surpasses the stereotypical romance comedies that are shoved in our faces on a daily basis. This isn't a chick flick and it isn't a macho flick. X's and O's delivers something that most romantic comedies don't. It targets both sexes! So instead of being dragged to a chick flick like Sex In The City or to a macho flick such as Rambo, both male and female can sit down and enjoy a movie together that will not only entertain you but leave you with some good conversation afterward. You want the perfect movie to pop in the DVD player (in some cases Blu-Ray) and watch on your first date? X's and O's should be your first choice. Yes, X's and O's is a independent film however it's been directed, written, produced and edited as if it were a high budget film. Check out X's and O's if your willing to watch a good indie flick worthy to be called "Good"
