Losing Control

Had a wonderful few hours watching this funny movie about trying to scientifically prove romance. How does a scientist prove love? This sweet movie involves loves, questions about love, quirky characters, espionage and a few hours of great laughs.

The main character, Sam, is on her way to defend her Phd, but along the way hits a few bumps in the road and begins to question her life and choices. Is Ben a 'keeper,' should she continue to defend her scientific theory, is Leslie's love advice good practice, and will her mother's hat work?

Go see the movie and find out!

Losing Control was a fun-filled romantic adventure that delves into the goals and desires of a talented, eccentric, and endearing scientist who experiments with love! The characters capture the universal realities of all our extended families…the movie will capture your heart.

The movie is well written, witty, and has real multi-faceted characters that we all know and love. It takes place in Boston as a Harvard scientist grapples with furthering her professional career versus taking the leap of faith that love requires of us all. In this process, she sends both herself and her beau through a soul search that helps them find out who they each are.

The movie presents comic relief with the funny Jewish parents, the moonlighting co-worker, and the string of romantic misfits that enter the story as well.

See this movie for sure...You will not be sorry!

I have been doing research for 20 years and I am glad someone made a satire on the Ph. D. life. It is filled with examples of Ph. D. life. My husband and I both found it very funny.

This being the director's first full length film, I was concerned about the quality. I shouldn't have been. Great acting, fun plot and wonderful characters. I enjoyed it from beginning to end!

The only thing I would have liked to see was more of the main male character. Very handsome and sexy but there were basically no bod shots of him.

I also appreciated the Jewish humor and small little details added to the film. I'd probably watch it again just to explore some of the details further.

Hopefully this film will get a broader release. I saw it at a special showing. Don't miss this little jewel.

Knew nothing about this movie but was enticed into the theater by the offer of a Q&A with the writer/director after the movie. Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Strong, smart female lead (when was the last time you saw a female scientist doing real science not dressed in a wet T-shirt or other inappropriate garb?) with a strong, sensitive, supportive male who is not a wimp, jerk or axe-murderer. This managed to be romantic and funny, in a real-life way, not slap-stick. There is the usual dynamic tension in relationships, with an undercurrent of something sinister going on too. The reveal is satisfying and doesn't overpower the story. I love little surprise movies like this-no hype, no big studio promoting their $250 million dud, no big star hawking it on late-night talk shows. This is a heart-felt, true-to-life-experience story that is fun to watch and talk about long after the lights come back on. Reid Scott is a young George Clooney-he has the looks and can act. If this comes to a theater near you, run to see it.
