    Living Their Own Truth

    I know, there is only one truth. These two don't stretch it, they simply disregard it in dual attempts to be what they think the other is looking for. It's sweet and cute with likable characters, some decent funny parts and it doesn't take itself too seriously. Oh, and any director who is willing to tease China, Inc. in today's film industry deserves some credit for bravery.

    Sweet and entertaining story with charismatic leads but...

    Great story idea and a great cast. But everything else (e.g. the script, direction, editing, and camera work) is terrible! I've seen tons of B movies and straight-to-video movies, but this looks more like a student film, like maybe a B or B- student. I don't know how so many successful actors were roped into participating. I'm actually very interested in how this movie came together. I imagine they ran out of time and money and were forced to submit a hastily thrown together rough cut, which they didn't even have time to review upon completion.

    Low budget disaster

    I give it credit because I've seen worse but overall the film is crap. I'm quite pleased I managed to get through it. The story is poor, the acting is poor, the effects are beyond poor. I can't imagine that anyone whose seen the film can actually rate it 10/10.

    Had to see for myself which version of reviews i agreed with

    It seems like reviewers either loved it or hated it with no in between. I had been debating whether to watch on Prime which is why I checked out IMDB reviews - to help me decide. The result was I had to watch it to see which side I agreed with. I liked it. Very low budget but it didn't feel cheap. The characters are all likeable and the acting was good - no-one took it too seriously which kept it light. And it was funny. It had some filler but generally it moved along at a reasonable pace. Did I mention there are some very funny scenes. I will probably watch it again and soon because it left me with a good feeling.

    Here's the real joke "Genres: Comedy"

    Rotten acting, terrible camera work, and not a funny line in sight. I gave this rubbish a 1/10 in the hope of balancing the current 6.9. I'll be very surprised if this ends up with better than 4.5 when real voters start voting it down instead of the cast voting it up.
