All That I Need

I really enjoyed the film. Having fallen into a similar situation once, I recognized many personalities. Instead of a judge touting the legalities, a lawyer stood up and spouted his assurances. Well done James - you captured our natures very well. My only complaint was the lighting and erratic camera moves. I understand the lighting was poor because it was being radio broadcast (?) - But really, my home videos have smoother pans! I like the fact that most of the actors were working without scripted lines. While some of the dialog was trite -it was a neat and unusual experience to witness their abilities or lack thereof. I would like to know how your actors enjoyed doing their parts.

There's something pretty fun about watching a bunch of people get together and do a bunch of stupid things, then yell at each other, blaming each other for whatever trouble they find themselves in. Watching All That I Need was pretty much like that. I just kept laughing because I noticed that most of the people in the movie had no idea how stupid they actually looked. They just kept saying and doing stupid things, over and over and over. On top of this, all the greed and money just adds to the rancor in the film. (My English teacher would be proud that I used the word rancor!)

I definitely recommend this movie. If nothing else, you get to see how money, sex, greed and gossip causes people to act crazy. Kinda like real life, only better.

As one of 60 million people worldwide who had done pyramid schemes, this movie really hit's home. It keeps you on the "edge" of your seat and is worth the price of admission. This is a "must see" movie. It has all the elements that drive people, greed, lust, jealousy, etc. Friendships are tested and real life drama unfolds in front of your eyes. I am sure just about everybody can relate to this movie and for an "Indie" film to be picked up for distribution at the theaters is saying really how good this movie is. I rarely see movies more than once but tonight I am going again with a group of friends again. This movie really teaches you a valuable lesson about life.

It was a little dark when I saw it, but I hear that's because the first run was digitally broadcast. If it was shown on HD or film it would have been brighter. But its the story that got me. It was a little slow at first, but then interesting and exciting, until the last minute. I think everyone knows somebody who has been duped by a pyramid or get rich quick scheme. The characters are intriguing and seemed to be so real. Everyone I was with was wondering if it was real. But if it was real, how could they have captured the love scene and the one at the gym? These are questions that make you think maybe it wasn't real. All That I Need gets an "A" from me.

I just got permission to release the following praise about our movie "All That I Need", and I thought I would share it with you;.......... "We at MOVIEBEAR TV viewed ,"ALL THAT I NEED" ,prior to CANNES FILM FESTIVAL 05. The film itself is extraordinarily authentic - and we were left rather puzzled, but intensely intrigued. Either this film is real, and this filmmaker got some fantastic footage or if it is staged, the acting is second-to-none. It provides a very interesting insight for anyone who has ever been slightly tempted by the extravagant promises that pyramid schemes offer (and who hasn't been at least once in their life?!). If you're interested in getting rich quick, this is a cautionary tale for you. We have expressed our interest to Mr.Hergott to acquire the movie for our online "Pay Per View network."
