I picked up this film at the video store. I was not bothered by its cheesy package design nor the even cheesier provided synopsis, designed to pull in curious viewers no doubt. Did it work? Maybe it did? I mean, I wanted to watch it, but I guess since Blockbuster was all out of "The Wedding Planner", I had no other choice. Kidding. BB'd never be out of that pearl! Alone on the shelf "SM" sat, so I wanted to dust it off and give it a fair shake. I wanted something that no one had seen before. I wanted to know that I was not alone in my views. I was identifying with what I knew about the film but only from reading the back. So I took it home and popped it in the VCR and began to become part of the world of these characters. Somewhere along the line, they led me astray and I was lost. Who are these people? What are the representing? Why are they there? Who are they? What are they fighting for? The characters are changing for the film? Reality is bending. It is an independent film. I dig indie films-I make 'em! That's not the problem-polish, smolish, I dig plot and interesting it shot for, but it fell short, I think. A lot of potential to say a lot and it tried but maybe too hard. All the world's problems? Big topic, that's a lot to shoot for, a lot to live up to. I'm not saying I could make a better film, (although I do have some ideas) but if we all we all watched it, maybe we could all make it better. Mistakes are great teachers! You learn from yourself!
