Friends Don't Let Friends Date Friends

I enjoyed this film the first time I saw it and loved it the second time around. I found that there are comical moments streamed throughout the film, some blatantly funny and other straight lines dripping with sarcasm. There's silly drama in the foreground of the story and real-life drama underlying, making the film completely relatable. The most charming part of this movie is knowing that these same characters could easily be your own group of friends. Many times I find that the soundtrack to movies overpower the dialogue, drowning out what may or may not be good acting. Not in this film, the music compliments the action of the film. At times it it is an equal partner in setting the mood, as much as any of the acting. Overall, I highly recommend seeing this film. It is well worth your time.

It was very enjoyable! The characters all had their own persona, the background music was amazing as well as the story and quality. The sound quality could have been better but overall it was very enjoyable. Hard to take your own attention away from it. It was funny, a nice twist in it. I enjoyed the multiple landmarks from our town and neighboring towns. The local actors were very passionate about their roles. The feeling was good all around. The lighting itself was wonderful. Being able to connect with the main character... It was definitely something to brag about. I called up and messaged some of my friends seeing their own persona's and situations being acted out. Hey it's true! Friends don't date friends!

Grab a glass of wine, sit by the fire and enjoy this romantic comedy of love, romance,tears, and laughter among friends. I absolutely loved this movie not only for the cinematography but for the quality and the tastefulness in which the story-line was put together.In this movie, objectively, everyday things happen example, I noticed the girls didn't let a guy come between their friendship which is very important, because in today's society lot of that is going on and close friendships end!!"never let a guy ruin a friendship" I really liked the sound track as well,very original!! Where can I a get a copy? The areas in which the film was taped is great Orleans county which is a wonderful place to visit and take perfect pictures for proms, weddings etc.I hope this becomes a great hit. This movie is great for all ages.

You have to give this film and the cast/production a lot of credit for what was created here in this movie. I am naturally not a fan of romantic comedies, but this film was actually funny and wholesome. Hollywood spits out films under the genre of 'romantic comedy' and more often than not, the comedy includes old, overused euphemisms for sex that are not very comedic at all - just immature and lame. Just sex, sex, sex, and maybe a little teen-angst. I was pleased with this film because not only does it delve into romance, it portrays the importance of friendship. That is the most important aspect of this film that Hollywood misses out on when making films. Instead of an already famous/rich cast looking to make more bank, you have people from the surrounding area working together creating culture, being a part of a project that did not promise a grade or money or climb. What you have here is group of people living in the small towns and surrounding little cities of Western New York making something special, meeting new people, and opening doors. I was impressed with the outcome considering all of the circumstances surrounding this film, and recommend it for anyone looking to sit around with the family and watch something made by people like them.

FDLFD follows Della and her friends as they work their way through small-town romantic entanglements, all of which seem to fly past Della. Created and Directed by Rhonda Parker as a student film it is impossible to say there are no weak spots in the script or the acting, but the overall tone of the film, the fairly unique approach of a making a romantic comedy with no real action sequences lends a warmer feel to the production.

Shortcomings can be forgiven easily because the main characters are engaging and the relationships, and the pangs from the relationships, are believable. This does not have the feel of a vanity project. Every once in a while genuine laughs slip in and liven the film up. Comedy is a difficult thing to master, subtle comedy more-so.

Extremely small-level indie projects like this that rely on character and require time to play out are a rarity, and should be encouraged.

I am impressed with this film and, for the sake of transparency, I am proud to have been one of the fund-raising contributors, albeit on a small scale. I want to see what Rhonda comes up with next.
