My name is Jon Shelton. I too am a fan of RECEPTION TO FOLLOW. I'm also a friend of Charles Ellis and I knew him when he was making this movie. The other reviewer is right - it does seem like only yesterday. I've had the pleasure of seeing this film thanks to Cellis. It's awesome! I'd put it in the comedy and romance category more than the drama category, although it does have some good dramatic moments. The cast is charming, fun, and attractive. In addition to the two leads, I really liked Charles Sexton in his supporting role of Chris. I feel like when I watch this movie, I'm taking a bath myself. So it's the perfect bathtub movie if you've got a TV and video set up in your bathroom. I also liked some of the film's more imaginative moments - like how a painting is admired by the people on screen but it's never actually seen by the viewer. Another moment that allows you to use your imagination is the story of how Morgan and Katherine met. I guess it will be shown in the prequel, but I like the way the story is told in the movie. It adds depth to the film. The Love Jones contributed some of the music, so could you please put out a tenth anniversary soundtrack album as well? Love that theme song "Now You're Looking Like Me" by Charles Ellis and Vince Emmet! Also, I look forward to seeing the long awaited prequel to this: PAPER CUT.
