a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Tonight I watched Lust for Love and I thought it was cool. A simple comedy with some old gags some new - but fun to watch. It is an enjoyable relaxing feel good comedy that made me laugh. Hollywood puts out scores of these movies but here is a low budget version every bit as good as the million dollar block busters that we see every day.Joss Whedon did not have anything to do with this movie but it is full of the old Doll House stars. In fact I like Fran Kranz in this better than his Doll House roll. Australian viewers will recognise Caitlin Stasey from the popular soapy Neighbours where she co-starred with Dichen Lachman many years ago.You have to watch this movie in the light of the fact that they put it together themselves. Raised money, got actors together and just did it. Good movie !!

"Disappointed" is the word that springs to mind after finishing this film for the first time. After watching the trailer I was sure this would be a hit - what could go wrong with throwing together a load of Dollhouse alum in front of the camera? Apparently, almost everything. Fran Kranz, as always, plays his role brilliantly considering what he had to work with and is, in my opinion, the film's only saving grace. The acting in general is largely wooden, the directing is flat and uninteresting, the plot is cliché and predictable, but most of all - the script is horrendous. The writer seems to opt for a snappy Whedon-esque form of dialogue that falls so flat for the most part, it can be painful to watch. I can only express my sincerest condolences to those who backed this project on Kickstarter, and were looking forward to this film as much as I was.

While we wait for Joss Whedon's own scifi/romance movie "In Your Eyes," those of us who have become enamored of the many talented actors he has worked with and whose careers he has cultivated over the years have something to watch. "Lust For Love" is a Kickstarter-funded, Web-based (so far) project that reunites several of the cast members of Whedon's short-lived but brilliant TV series "Dollhouse" -- Fran Kranz, Dichen Lachman, Enver Gjokaj, Miracle Laurie, Maurissa Tancharoen, and Felicia Day. They obviously became close during their "Dollhouse" experience, and that closeness just as obviously carries over into this delightful rom-com.I'll be honest and state that I'm probably too old to appreciate this movie. It seems aimed at an audience 20-somethings, and as such I would say that it succeeds admirably. Kranz is tremendous as the nebbishy Astor, hoping beyond hope to get back together with the narcissistic girl of his dreams Mila (played by non-Whedon-alum Beau Garrett). Towards this end he secures the services of Mila's ex-best friend Cali (played superbly by Dichen Lachman, who also co-produced this film). Much embarrassment and dating horror ensue, almost all of it portrayed with heart, and a fairly light heart at that. This is not one of those cynical movies about dating and romance.It was great to see many of the "Dollhouse" actors together again, and those who loved them will probably be the first audience for this film. But I thought that the film (written and directed by first-timer Anton King) has merits of its own, and I hope it reaches a wider audience. I suspect that it could stand on its own among the classics of young-people romance films, up there with "Say Anything."

I'm one of the 1519 kickstarter backers so maybe I am a little biased. This has been a long time coming. The estimated release once was June 2012! The film turned out pretty good. You don't see the tiny budget it had. The kickstarter ended with about $100.000 but they ran out of money during production so it definitely cost more than that. But I have seen independent movies with 10 times the budget which looked cheap and amateurish compared to this. The selections for the soundtrack also fit very well.The best thing about this movie is the cast. There are great actors even in tiny roles. And Franz Kranz proves once more how good he is. Dichen Lachman is also great in this but I love her anyway.Unfortunately the film is a little lacking story wise. You just have to read the plot summary (guy dates girl, girl leaves guy, guy goes to his female friend and asks her to help him win her back)to know there this is going. But the movie has some very funny parts and the story at least is told in an interesting way. Just don't expect any big surprises.Overall I can recommend to watch it if you have the chance. If you are a Dollhouse fan this is a must see.
