FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
jack78902001 I agree with most of the other comments. The filming was amateurish, and I'd hope that all the actors in it lied about being in such a joke.I agree that the dialog had a 'Woody Allen' flavor. In fact, his name is mentioned in the movie. I'm wondering if he really directed it, but knew later that it would be such a horrible stinker that he took his name off of it.Neve is a beautiful woman, and they used her beauty to fill the theaters. Her character was also masochistic. Her 'Ratso Rizzo' boyfriend was a sleezebag who did nothing to help the film. In fact, the Count's character was the only redeeming part of it. I thought he was believable as an aging billionaire who usually got what he wanted. Although he could have gotten prettier and more intelligent women for far less than a million bucks.All in all, it stankEverJackI've seen few films that I would call terrible, but this is one of them.EverJack
emdoub Okay - I'm a fan of Neve Campbell, which is the primary reason I rented this flick. She shows considerable acting chops here - which is even more impressive when you consider the lack of opportunity for her character to develop.Truth be told, most of the acting was pretty well done. Great soundtrack, pretty views of NYC, wonderful cinematography - this could be a great movie. Neve gets naked during the opening credits? Oh, yeah - settle in and enjoy... enjoy.... um....Shot in 11 days, this film features the writer/director playing a Jewish Professor of Black Studies, Lori Singer playing herself with a rude boyfriend, Mike Tyson playing someone else that just looks like Mike Tyson. Fred Weller plays the sleazy hustler boyfriend (unfaithful, no less) of rich-girl Vera (Neve), Damon Dash plays nice to a guy on the sidewalk who's trying to hustle him, and about half of the cast plays characters with their own names - someone was running low on creativity at this point.Running 81 minutes, about half of the scenes went about twice as long as they should have - which comes out okay, because the other half had nothing to do with story progression or character development. That was okay, too - because the story didn't have anywhere to go to, and after the first 15 minutes, you don't want the characters to develop - you want them to either make sense or go away. (Some make sense - but annoy deeply.) Upshot of the plot - a beautiful young woman of the leisure class bounces between being approached for sex or approaching strangers on the street, asking for phone numbers. A man touted as the most important media mogul of Italy offers a hustler $100,000 for an introduction to his girlfriend - and when she says it's not sufficient, goes out and hits banks to score a million in cash for her. She tells boyfriend that there was no cash, and Bad Things Happen - after which we see that the poor little rich girl is a Bad poor little rich girl.The point? See Neve naked, I guess. Her acting is fine - her taste here, however, is a little shaky.
ublackdeathu-1 *****SPOILERS***** "The ending of the movie where it freezes when Vera(Neve) looks at herself in the mirror FREAKS ME OUT TO THIS DAY." (No, its not the same image you see on the Poster art.) Well, I will start off by saying that I liked this movie. Why? most people would talk about this movie and say: "why would these characters do these things" or "its random sequence garbage." People who say these things don't understand that this is a movie and movies are fictional......Just pop in the DVD and enjoy the ride, dammit.Well, the dialog between Vera(Neve) and the Count(Chianese) is really smart and dramatic, and leads to the sex scene Very well. Ford's(Weller) dialog throughout the movie is unbelievably funny and true(what he would do for money or revenge). The ending of the movie where it freezes when Vera looks at herself in the mirror FREAKS ME OUT TO THIS MINUTE.OK fine, this movie isn't perfect, the music often instantly cuts between rap songs to classical music, and it gets annoying. The events in the movie may seem messy.I mean, if you subscribe to netflix or something BY ALL MEANS RENT THIS MOVIE, you have nothing really to lose.Did I mention there are some good sex scenes in here too? 4 Stars ****
russem31 "When Will I Be Loved" (2004) is an interesting film that explores the issue of sexuality and the feeling of being wanted, of being loved. Though not done completely successfully, there are many interesting elements here. This includes Neve Campbell as the lead character Vera who does a very good job in her role as well as Dominic Chianese as the Count. There is an intriguing use of music too, with different styles of music representing the individual characters in the film. For example, Neve Campbell is represented by Bach. And the cinematography in her apartment is extraordinary, especially the red couch (which is a complete contrast to her, since she's wearing black throughout the film). All in all, interesting if not perfect.
