Good start, but then it gets ruined
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
The acting in this movie is really good.
Watching this fine cast try to work in this silly movie made me embarrassed for everyone except those who had parts too brief to do them much damage, and, of course, Enver Gjokaj who acquitted himself well by playing Jake the Butthead straight and thereby getting the most genuine laughs.Most of the "jokes" just weren't funny and didn't make any sense, which is interesting since that is what is said about the main character at one point. A little autobiography then from writer-director Anton King? I like Fran Kranz and Dichen Lachman but their roles and dialog were awful. Kranz's character does variations on the same joke over and over. Lachman's character, the epitome cool combined with cluelessness, is not that interesting. There might be something universal about relationships buried here but it was obscured and trivialized here.
Watched this chic flick because I had watched Franz Kranz in 'Murder of a Cat', which I loved. But here Franz falls flat in this over long story of Astor chasing the wrong girls.From the start the viewer can easily see that Hazel (I think that was her name) is the one he loves but director Anton King squeezes as much as he can out of the confused Astor. The funny bits are average at best and just helps to keep the easy story moving. I didn't find any of the characters believable and became impatient for the obvious end of who Astor will be with.The only plus I can give Lust for Love is the 'eye candy' in a few scenes!
I can't believe how boring this movie was. I do not know what was up with the camera either, whenever they had a close-up the background would shake. Very cheap dumb movie the only reason I watched it was I was super bored. I love actors in the movie, but the plot was very predicable and just leading up to it was so drawn out. I kept telling myself it would get better and be worth watching, but that was so not true. Save yourself the yawning and watch something with more depth and story line. I really just kept thinking this would be a great movie if Dichen just turned into a vampire and killed them all, but that was just wishful thinking.
I'm one of the 1519 kickstarter backers so maybe I am a little biased. This has been a long time coming. The estimated release once was June 2012! The film turned out pretty good. You don't see the tiny budget it had. The kickstarter ended with about $100.000 but they ran out of money during production so it definitely cost more than that. But I have seen independent movies with 10 times the budget which looked cheap and amateurish compared to this. The selections for the soundtrack also fit very well.The best thing about this movie is the cast. There are great actors even in tiny roles. And Franz Kranz proves once more how good he is. Dichen Lachman is also great in this but I love her anyway.Unfortunately the film is a little lacking story wise. You just have to read the plot summary (guy dates girl, girl leaves guy, guy goes to his female friend and asks her to help him win her back)to know there this is going. But the movie has some very funny parts and the story at least is told in an interesting way. Just don't expect any big surprises.Overall I can recommend to watch it if you have the chance. If you are a Dollhouse fan this is a must see.
