User Reviews

At Times Amateurish But Still Very Enjoyable

If you want a movie that is entertaining and fun, and not your typical run-of-the-mill Hollywood fare, this movie is for you. Some of the performances are not all that great, but after reviewing the movie's web site I can understand how that happened. In general the movie is great - it's offbeat but not too far out there for the average person. When you consider the budget they had to make the movie I think it's remarkable. And if you compare it to the other "tiny budget" movies you can see (like "El Mariachi") I think this far surpasses anything else. I recommend "Drawing Down the Moon" heartily. And personally I'd like to see the lead actress, Karina Krepp, in a lot more movies. She's terrific. Of course I was happy to see Walter Koenig in another role, since I'm a big Trek fan, but I thought Ms. Krepp was the real star.
