Race You to the Bottom

I dont know whats the point of movie. yeh the performance is somehow OK, its a low budget movie. the story starts somehow understandable , gets interesting and then in the end it gets stupid.

the way i see, its like "cheaters" have feeling too. means its story about a girl and guy who are having affair, and they talk about their feeling and stuff the whole time until the in the end.

and then what the hek is that ending?...

-----------------spoilers----------------- so even in the end, the met at hiking track , and they both got someone else. but then they start having an affair ?.. means again they cheat on their significant one. that disgusting.

I never believed for a minute that Cole Williams' character was a true bisexual and therein lies the flaw in RACE YOU TO THE BOTTOM. He's an arrogant, self-centered writer (whose talent is also something of a line of BS), who is acting like a spoiled baby and it is hard to muster up any sympathy for him or any of the other characters in this road-to-nowhere film. The DVD commentary tries to explain away their behavior by emphasizing that that the characters are in their 20's and this is their 'time' to be self-centered and let ego rule. Maybe if the film-maker took a solid stance on how HE feels about them, we'd care too. But he didn't and we don't so race to the credits and get it over with.

I watched this movie as I had a spare hour and a half and the 73 minute running time intrigued me, as I often find that a lot films these days are over inflated and over long. This film is a confusing "love" story with an unlikeable lead. The casting of the leading male actor was a mistake as far as I was concerned. He didn't (to me) have the charisma required to portray the "lothario" he was convinced he was. His looks bordered on effeminate. Don't get me wrong, effeminacy does not bother me in the slightest,but in this case, I found it hard to find the actor/character as irresistible as the film would have you believe. Kudos however must go to the lady playing the female lead. I felt she gave a good performance and she made me feel for her. Which is a definite plus, right? The road trip format of this movie has been done before. And I quite enjoy road trips if the traveling companions are interesting and the destination is worth the trip. In this case, it wasn't. Not a total waste of time, but I would not recommend this as a must see.

This film is about the sexual relationships of a bisexual man and a heterosexual woman, who go on a trip together to research for a newspaper article.

Judging from the film length, I guessed that the plot is probably not so well developed, and there is little to be conveyed. Unfortunately, this turns out to be true. I feel that there are not enough character development to make the characters connect with the viewers. There are not enough subplots to make the film interesting either. Many of the momentary flashbacks could have been expanded to full scenes, such as Nathan and Maggie walking around San Francisco having fun together. This would serve as better story development, and to increase the film's runtime. It is a pity that this film turns out not to be as captivating and interesting as it could have been.

This is one of those movies that has absolutely NO redeeming values or reasons to watch. Since the synopsis is pretty accurate, I'll just concentrate on the basics here. The script is linear and understandable, but completely unrelatable. NONE of the characters is likeable; I know this has been used by some film makers as a plot device so the viewers subtly start rooting for the anti-hero, but no...these characters are not only awful, but they are boring. Most of the film is just people talking, and not saying much of anything at all. In fact, if there were a moral anywhere here, it's that bi-sexual men are apparently narcissistic and evil and women are confused and spiteful. The end. What I WILL say is that the cinematography and editing was GREAT...completely wasted on such a lackluster film. And while there was no attraction to any of the characters, I will say the female lead was good in her role; she may have been type-cast, but she did a good job, which is why I added a star here. But unless you are a friend of hers, that is not a reason to watch this.
