Stylish, but average film, 16 novembre 2004

Auteur : noizyme de Escondido, CA

This movie was a moviestar-filled indie film about relationships and what might have happened had they chosen to take things differently with the people nearest to them. This plot is very overused so naturally to change the movie and make it unique, they add digital effects over the video to make it more artsy.

I liked the effects and the different characters were always getting themselves into crazy situations involving neverending change, but the way this was directed was so unbelievable and chaotic that the audience, in my opinion, doesn't have time to understand how to react to the changes that are made. This movie is more depressing than happy or even "real."

This obviously is supposed to be a black comedy based around the emotion of love and its many forms and prices of being in love. I gave it a 5/10 stars because although it had nice stylistic touches to keep you watching, there was very little payoff to watching through to the credits.

When Harry Met Sally it ain't!, 9 juin 2003

Auteur : lduperval de Montreal, Canada

Great movie! It starts out with two people about to kiss in a hotel room, with both of them admitting that this is going to be a big mistake. Buit they go ahead and do it anyway. After that, the rest of the movie deals with the implications of that kiss. But the way it is all presented is quite fun. There are the somewhat annoying uses of cartooning effects over the real actors. But the most enjoyable part was the way they played with the timeline. At any given time, you aren't really sure if you're in the present or the past. The first few times take you by surprise.

Not your typical love story, for sure. I thought the actors were fine, everyone lies, noone is perfect, which is the way life is. Just more so. As Sid Ceasar said, "Comedy has to be based on truth. You take the truth and you put a little curlicue at the end." And that's what they did with this movie.

A good 7.5 (8 on IMDB).

Did The Actors Read the Script First?, 28 janvier 2004

Auteur : Mitiori de San Diego, CA

Given the quality of the actors on this project, I thought this might be one of those overlooked movies that turn out to be a missed treasure. I discovered that it was overlooked for a really good reason. It is a really bad movie.

I don't know what is worse - the script, some of the acting, the direction, the editing or those stupid illustrations effect they use at the opening of the movie (which was a warning sign) and throughout the rest of the movie in weird places. Maybe the director was trying to be "arty" and "different" like a lot of young artists try to do without having a keen understanding of why things are "traditional" as a guide to what is groundbreaking versus what is plain stupid.

And what was with that freaky guy dressed in the eagle costume?

The timeline was also annoying. It went from past to present, but since there is not a firm ground on who the characters are in the first place or why they are together, the flashbacks are indistinguishable and/or just annoying.

This movie doesn't even have a good soundtrack to make up for the pain.

Don't even ask about character development, consistency or believability. It doesn't exist in this film. Save yourself. Don't bother.

Horrible Attempt at Satire, 5 janvier 2007

Auteur : kscarlett553 de Etats-Unis

*** Ce commentaire peut contenir des spoilers ***

This film tries awfully hard to spook romance movies of every type. It wants to spoof the romantic comedy, the tragedy, HBO soft-core porn and in some ways a horror film of female obsession. However, it fails in every respect seeming to be more like a junior high imitation of that nascent writers believe adult relationships are like.

This movie might have been humorous, if the gags weren't taken to such obscene levels of mockery. While the cast seems absolutely oblivious to the huge mistake of a career move.

Worst of all, the ending tries to reveal something true to relationships: that sex is unforgivable whereas making out isn't all that bad when it comes to cheating. However, it is impossible to take anything in this movie seriously.

Tied with Men in Black II as worst movie of the year to date, 20 octobre 2002

Auteur : Janazz de Phoenix, Arizona

My only positive thoughts were that someone is going to make brilliant use of this type of animation in a film someday (but this isn't it) and Marissa Tomei needs to get more roles. Truly don't know where to start with such a mess of a movie. Could see that it was trying to be a black hip comedy about how one decision changes everything, but the characters had no connections to human beings and it wasn't funny in the least. Twas more superficial than TV commercials.

Internet generation "consequences" flick, 30 octobre 2005

Auteur : siderite de Roumanie

I took this movie because my wife wanted a romantic comedy. It is slightly comedy as well as romantic, but IT IS NOT a romantic comedy. What it is is one of those situational movies which exploit the butterfly effect in relationships and in the end everybody ends up knowing everybody and having a connection to them and facing consequences for the things they did in the first start of the movie.

The graphical effects are nice sometimes, but completely unnecessary. After I watched about 80% of the film I have already decided that it is better than a romantic comedy, as I wasn't bored out of my socks, but worse than any other type of movie. I've already labeled it average and I was waiting for the end. The end, though, transformed into a short "what if" mini-movie that canceled all the bad effects of the first part of the film. I didn't like that, really.

So, in conclusion, while it was a rather original take on an old story, it failed to deliver entertainment or at least the discovery of one's true hidden feelings as some of these romantic experiments end up doing. You just watch the movie, completely disconnected and vaguely aware of the emotions of the characters, then it ends.

Worth seeing for Tomei and Eldard and humor, 3 avril 2003

Auteur : beware_of_seller de london, england

Don't be so hard on this film, all of you who are putting it down. It's not going to win an oscar for any reason, but it's different and it's not stupid. It's definitely worth a rental fee. The film dabbles in black humor and Tomei is sexy as always. There are some silly moments which make it worth seeing, for instance a certain commercial actor. The soundtrack is inspiring, as it is trippy groove music, and the animation parts make it different. The acting is fine on all levels. Definitely worth seeing if you like the actors in the film. 7.5/10

Novelty For Novelty's Sake, 20 juillet 2004

Auteur : B24 de Arizona

There are in fact some good takes in this film. Each is like an episode that relates forward or back to another, with uneven balance. The clever rotomation is probably unnecessary, but you never know because the central theme of infidelity masquerading as comedy never gets off the ground.

It could be just that I don't appreciate gimmicks or television-inspired quick jumps from one aspect or view of an object to another. Or that I see Generation X or Millennium Generation attitudes as disjointed and lacking any sense of classic value. Anyone who might be strongly centered on the idea of "character" (in the old sense of that word) should probably avoid this film as a waste of time. Go and rent a computer game or watch Reality TV instead.

People with no morals nor integrity make boring subject matter., 13 avril 2003

Auteur : Tomsriv-1 de Northridge, California

I rented this movie for my girlfriend because I don't mind a chick flick if it has a good story. However, this movie is predictable and boring. None of the characters have redeeming qualities. Its like Seinfeld without the comedy. All they care about is themselves so it is pretty easy to figure out the choices they will make. Why can't we have movies where people have more depth of character? This movie was vulgar, tragic, and lacked romance. The cover shows two people about to kiss, yet all the love in this movie is tragic. Don't expect to be in the mood for romance after this movie. Its like an American version of a bad French movie.

If you want a Romantic Comedy that will make you laugh and set the mood get Amelie, its the best of its type.

Just sucks., 12 juillet 2003

Auteur : George Parker de Orange County, CA USA

"Just a Kiss" sucks like a Hoover. I only made it about halfway before ejecting. I showed the DVD cover to my SO and she just stuck up her nose at it. Even my cat tried to cover it up. The film has a good cast (why I rented it) but no story, goes no place, and really needs to get over itself. It's salted with cute little effects...not cute cute, just dumb cute. One star from Ebert and 86% rotten according to RottenTomatoes.com, I shoulda known better. (C-)
