The Way We Weren't

I love Ben Lawson, and I enjoy watching anything he's in. It's a lighthearted romcom and I don't understand why there are so many angry people saying that the good ratings are fake. Sometimes I just want a lighthearted movie that I can kick back and watch when I'm tired or when I've had a busy day at work. I thought the storyline was cute and the acting was fine. I don't know enough about cinematography to know if the filming was bad or good and frankly, I don't care. I think it's a cute storyline with a sweet outcome. If you like cheesy stories, you'll like this. If you're expecting an award-winning film, you won't. It is what it is.

This is not a super duper budget romantic comedy, its not a dead serious, academy award winning stuff but its jolly good fun all the way through. its about internetdating(so its a cliche) but this was a bit more twisted and cute than lots of other b-movies of the comedy genre seen lately. its lots of good old slapstick, and fun of the kind you realize 3 secs before it comes, and it really made me laugh especially in the 15 first minutes. apart from slapstick, its also spangled with a lot of dipstick humour, and a bit of adultery, so if you like that the grumpy old man says,take a look at ''the way we weren't''

I know, there is only one truth. These two don't stretch it, they simply disregard it in dual attempts to be what they think the other is looking for. It's sweet and cute with likable characters, some decent funny parts and it doesn't take itself too seriously. Oh, and any director who is willing to tease China, Inc. in today's film industry deserves some credit for bravery.

This film is a low budget terrible script shot on some cheap camera that makes it look like an iphone was used or a cheap camera. The acting is pretty lacking and not sure how anyone could rate this as a 10 unless they worked on the film which looks like shot locally in LA. I give it a 1 for being resourceful in stealing so many free cool locations.

Great story idea and a great cast. But everything else (e.g. the script, direction, editing, and camera work) is terrible! I've seen tons of B movies and straight-to-video movies, but this looks more like a student film, like maybe a B or B- student. I don't know how so many successful actors were roped into participating. I'm actually very interested in how this movie came together. I imagine they ran out of time and money and were forced to submit a hastily thrown together rough cut, which they didn't even have time to review upon completion.
