Love in Kilnerry

Sorry for the less than creative title, but it's completely in line with the script, acting, editing and quality of this film.

It's like a high school student film - complete with lowbrow crude humor alongside uncomfortably stale and rigid dialogue and an unhealthy dose of naked seventy-somethings. A stunningly prudish film (the word "fornicate" is used liberally), yet with childish crude and lewd elements thrown in the mix randomly - and seemingly to prevent folks from enjoying the kernel of sweetness this film should have.

Indeed, there is a kind thread running throughout, but in today's world where a half intelligent 16 year old can create a compelling, thoughtful and true-to-themselves film on an iPhone, there is no need for this drivel in the broader market.

This is the American Pie for the assisted living set, replete with actors who can't seem to get enough local community theater gigs to satisfy their (long ago) childhood dreams of being actors.

There are so, so many good, small films each year and I appreciate all who try...but this just didn't cut even the must basic mustard. Daniel Keith should use his fading semi-attractiveness to land as many small tv roles he can, while he can...and never again try to write or direct a piece of filmed "entertainment."
