We the Coyotes

Opening scene. I could tell right away that Jake is a la-la-la-la-looooooooser. Of course he wants to have a backup plan, because once the cute girl gets used to L. A. , the loser doesn't have a chance of holding onto her. Just LOOK at him!

The kind of movies that makes you wish not to blink a second. A road trip of a young couple in the pursuit of dreams in a place where dreams might come true or break them apart. The shooting takes us into a ride of moving moments of beauty, yet projects the hardships that comes along without romantacizing nor falling into clichés.

Sometimes you think you know people and then sometimes they surprise you, even when you think you have it all planned out. The characters seem to fit into their roles: girl with her act together and the boy loser. But in spite of the cliché plot, the boy surprises us by knowing the up and coming star at the very roots of his career, and a backup plan for saving the day. The girl on the other hand is the loser who disappoints her parents and is not worthy of the trust. Will they become another statistic to the draw of LA or will life's twists save them? The move is well played, directed, and written. It fits together and is convincing, reflecting the pre-pandemic optimism that we all use to know and love.

This movie has nothing to offer, wonder why it was even produced.The acting is not great and the viewer doesn't connect with the characters.

Nicely integrated story built up with tight shots and a concentrated in time love story of two people captured at the beginning of their journey together.
