Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Sara James Bad B movie that seems to have been funded by one of the lead actors. Send them all to acting school. The money would have been better spent on feeding the homeless. The plot has been done to death and the actors know nothing about transitions. Not ready for prime time players. This film was created to stroke an ego of an actress that can not get hired in real films created by studios. This film proves you can not sleep your way into the acting world. The ending is predictable, I feel sorry for the editor who was forced to cut away from the actor who was speaking because they were so bad and the reaction from the other actor was better.
heatherjg86-1 OK granted this isn't the best movie in the world but it left me with a smile on my face. Some of the characters wouldn't be out of place in a pantomime and it made up group of stereotypes that weren't necessary for the major plot but the comic effect was well worth it. The best character in my opinion has got to be the mother, to go from proud, to devastated, to accepting and to happy all in the space of an hour (if only real life was so easy!). The only down side I can mention is the convoluted firemen having to save the day, There really was no need for them in this scenario but they were played to be idiots so....If your looking for a light-hearted romance tale then this is well worth the watch.
ksmith818 Where to begin with this movie that tried to be good, that I wanted to be good and that ended up not achieving either goal. I really liked this movie when I watched it, it kept me entertained, I laughed at some of the comedy, and I was glad that there was a happy ending. But upon further reflection I was entertained by a shoddy story, there wasn't enough laughter and the ending didn't make sense and now seems a little forced.So what went wrong? I think this movie had too many story lines trying to compete for attention and so to fit them all in leaps had to be made to move them along and those leaps made them feel artificial. Like the story line about the mother finding out that her daughter is a lesbian. First there's a fight, then the mother prays to the saints for her daughter to not be gay, then she can't understand why her daughter is gay, then all she wants is for her happiness and finally she schemes to get her daughter and the main character together. Now all these points along a plot would be tough to tackle in its own movie let alone tackling along with 10 other plot points, so by the end we have a converted mother who we never really could see or understand why she converted when she did.This alone is frustrating except when you add people who don't progress very far, as one reviewer said one dimensional characters who only stick to their one ad nauseum story and then hook ups left and right that don't make sense. And then the ending where (stay with me) the lesbian turns straight, the straight becomes a lesbian (again) and the gay guy gets a few stereotypical lines about a dress fitting him. All in all a frustrating movie that has too many stories going on and at the end too little going for it in the way of believability...Argh!
kattue Trish Doolan has made an awesome, romantic Comedy about people, with all their insecurities, and love.This movie isn't like some other lesbian-themed movies, it is excellent made, the actors are real good and the storyline isn't gloomy or self-destructive, but fast-paced and hilarious. But that is probably because this movie is about people, not just lesbians.She plays Alex, a chef, preparing the perfect shower for her former roommate April. It all starts with a happy couple and some guests, who could be more different. Revealing that she and April had not only been roommates but lovers is the beginning of a chaos, that lets all people at the shower re-examine their own lives. In the end we have a burning house, a happy couple and this sensation of a real Feel-Good-Movie.
