Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Karri Ojala So somebody thought it would be funny to make an hour-long mockumentary out of lollipops for the homeless.The attempts at humor are very predictable and way too implausible and over the top in their real-world type documentary setting. And again, who thought it would be funny or even remotely interesting to follow the creation of a lollipop for the homeless? I also can't obviously understand why that would be a funny concept? I don't find anything edgy about thinking some rich people are so far gone that they'd do this, not even in the realm of parody, I can't understand it. This might be funny if somebody actually had done such lollipop campaign. I didn't laugh once, I had just a bewildered look and felt second-hand embarrassment.The camera work is bad, the picture quality is home video like, the aspect ratio is grandma's-TV.By the way, a terrible lollipop/movie title.

KissEnglishPasto ...........................................................from Pasto,Colombia...Via: L.A. CA., CALI, COLOMBIA....and ORLANDO, FL Reading a Review, I felt motivated to watch and review this film. LOLLILOVE got a firm hold of me 10 minutes in...and never let go! Here's a MOCKUMENTARY, set in the L.A. area (Where else, right?), that focuses on the foibles of charity volunteers who do what they do not out of any blind, selfless "Mother Teresa" style commitment to others, but basically because of how it makes THEM feel! With LOLLILOVE, the term "LOW Budget" really doesn't apply...It's more like: "NO Budget"! Apparently, the female lead, Jennifer Fischer(Jenna) also directs, co-wrote the screenplay, provided the story line and is credited as Illustrator! But if you want a real example of wearing many hats, her husband, Peter Alton, serves as Narrator, Screenplay Co-writer, Composer of Original Music, Film Editor, Cinematographer, Sound Recordist and Graphic Artist! WOW...Talk about a One-Man-Band! Invariably, these tiny, totally unpretentious film projects are much more successful at making me laugh than your typical, 100- Million-Dollar-Overblown-Formulaic-Hollywood "Comedy"! LolliLove is no exception.As a Los Angeles area ex-patriot, the obsessively self-absorbed narcissists portrayed here bring back fond memories! Like those self-mesmerized Hollywood publicists, who gradually convince themselves of the veracity of the B.S. press releases they spin for their clients, the would-be-do-gooders in LolliLove seem to have brainwashed themselves into the firm belief that handing a homeless person a designer lollipop with an artsy Pollyanna-style feel-good message on the wrapper will be a life-changing event that will instantly put them on the fast-track to 12-Step Rehabilitation and unbridled success! Oh, yes...And all this for only a measly $250,000 in charitable, tax- deductible contributions...Why can't they seem to find any contributors?!?! It's inspired, all-in-good-fun, biting satire at its best.9*....ENJOY/DISFRUTELA! Any comments, questions or observations, in English o en Español, are most welcome!.....

samkan I watched this nine years after it was made; i.e., post Jenn Fischer fame. Although nothing daring or inventive (Hollywood airheadedness has been spoofed since...well, Hollywood.) Gunn and Fischer play off one another so very well and manage to come off marginally believable in a satire that is decidedly unbelievable. Interestingly, the use of profanity is put to great effect to contrast people who have deluded themselves yet momentarily step into the real world and therein swear like sailors. Had you asked me in 2004 I'd have guessed Gunn would be the one placed in a hit TV show, though Fischer shows some real acting chops here (in fairness, THE OFFICE never challenges Jenn). In contrast to one of the COMMENTERS suggestion that LOLILLOVE might have been made longer to achieve feature length, I think editing off 10 or fifteen minutes would better serve the work. Would like to see these two in another spoof though that'll never happen as they were married when LOLLILOVE was made but are now divorced. I'm wondering if the wedding footage in LOLLILOVE was the real thing.

D Hooper (twistedhooch) As a fan of the good people at Troma's work and ideals, it was on visiting the Troma site that I stumbled on this gem; a mockumentary about helping the homeless by giving them lollies, Lollilove is a sharp satire about helping those less fortunate and a strong debut from Jenna Fischer, but not without flaws.The characters are well written, and the cast are believable and funny. Even Lloyd Kaufman, in one of his stronger role, as Father Lloyd. James Gunn gets most of the laughs as the ridiculous artist husband, making a number of very un-pc statements - his character is improved for it. The editing, though, is the films trump card, making the film hold together better than most mockumentaries (and a lot of the Troma back catalogue for that matter), looking a lot more professional than its meagre budget justifies. Though Lollilove isn't your average Troma picture and probably won't please all Troma fans, this does share the Troma independent spirit and the dark macabre humour. That said, there are flaws, the major one being its length; a 65 minute running time, which for a feature film is not long enough to be truly satisfying, at least to this cinephile; yes, the deleted scenes on the DVD would have harmed the film had they been included, but Lollilove would have benefited an extra day or twos shooting, and 10 minutes more the running length. One clumsy directorial choice was the bleeping of swearing, intended to make Lollilove more like a TV show, but seems out of place given the dark nature of humour. Also, a couple of points in the film the joke ratio isn't as strong as it could be, especially when compared to the work of Christopher Guest (a tough comparison point, being that he's an auteur of this genre). Though not perfect, Lollilove is a wicked satire, a promising debut, and a good Troma title to boot. Perhaps to fully appreciate this film, it is necessary to note the low budget production values, and the work done between husband and wife Jenna and James Gunn. This is worth further investigation if your a fan of mockumentaries, and have a dark sense of humour.
