plenty of realism here

Bobby Loves Mangos strikes me as perfectly plausible if you consider the three main characters: the "inciting" character is a bit of a sociopath, the principal is a bit of a pompous idiot, and the secretary is a bit of a principal-worshiper (which feeds his pompousness). No, the film does not work at all if we assume that people are perfectly rational logical positivists 100% of the time.

It's a well-done vignette of the *Night Gallery* variety. It doesn't strike me as having feature-film potential because there's about 20 minutes worth of story here. You'd have to package it with other material, embed it somehow in a set of other stories, to make it a decent feature.

A well made film

Make no mistake, this is a well made, competent film with some good twists. It definitely drew me in and I wanted to see how it would end.

It's well done, but if you read other, overly-gushing raves about this film, I'd take them with a grain of salt - remember that this director is quite a self-promoter!

I think the kid is on to something...

I have seen this movie on IFC, and although it is admittedly a low-budget film, I found the writing to be pretty darn good. If you are looking for a multi-million dollar production, you definitely won't find it here. In fact, the acting itself could use some help. But from a screen writing perspective, I was pleasantly surprised. At least it is not the same old regurgitated crap constantly bombarding our eyes as of late. For those who may not have fully appreciated "Bobby Loves Mangoes", try "Night of the Dog", one of the award winners of the Palm Beach International Film Festival, and give the screen writing at least another shot.

A cinematic break through!

Bobby Loves Mangos is a cinematic materpiece. The screenwriter, Jeremy Catalino is able create all the necessary elements of a feature length movie in an incredible 20 minutes. How he is able to develop the characters in such a short amount of time is absolutely amazing. To even speak of what the movie is about gives away too much, one has to just watch the movie and prepare themselves for the ride of their lifetime. The film is difficult to classify, it has the elements of sci-fi, mystery, as well as a thriller.

Man oh Man, I was at the edge of my seat for 3/4 of this movie. I don't know who this Jeremy Catalino person is, but he is destined for greatness. I'm going to keep my eye on him.

A great short film!

Wow, my friend Peter showed me this movie today, and I have to say I loved it. The part that really shines through is the writing, you can tell that it's a great script. The writing and directing are decent enough, but not stellar, for me, the story was really the hook. The ending completely threw me for a loop, too. Great movie and I'd defenitely look out for the writer to have a career in the future!
