C Street

Much like politics in America, the ratings on this movie are split. Don't be duped, vote no on this "comedy". Even if you try to watch it ironically like I did, vote no.

I had to make a review because this movie doesn't deserve the 6.1/10 rating it had when I watched it. I think the positive user reviews for this film have skewed those results. Strangle most of the positive reviewers only have 1 review.

2/10 because I did laugh a couple times, but mostly because I had fun with friends talking about the other things we could be doing instead.

The movie C Street begins with a rousing patriotic march, richly filmed in beautiful Virginia, and immediately takes us to Senior staffer Guy Poppet diligently working the reelection campaign of amicable Senator Cash Fallon. The good senator stakes his reputation on a new Healthcare bill and Poppet's continuing employment depends upon getting the senator elected and bill passed. Likable but lecherous Senator Fallon circles from scandal to scandal, each involving funny but hypocritical politicians that put Poppet in dicey situations, where success, even survival, seems futile.

After 49 minutes the story finally takes off to test Guy Poppet's character as he struggles to navigate Washington's corrupt political machine. Funny but larger than life characters are developed and followed to their logical conclusion. When a politician was asked if he gave a woman STD he replied, "I did not send flowers to anyone".

C Street is a satirical look at the side of Washington most people don't think about. If it refers to any real life figures the references escaped me, but the portrayal of politicians and their hypocrisy is well laid out and there is enough satire here to keep you entertained for its duration. The romance side story feels a little tacked on and some comedic scenes linger past the punchline, but all in all it's worth a watch.

C Street is definitely worth a watch if only for the ridiculous things its caricatures say with the straightest of faces, and for the portrayal of the media in way that is sure to make you giggle.

C street is a very beautiful movie. I enjoyed every bit of it. One good thing about this movie is that it's so relateable to many real life political stories. I also like the love twist being used to tell the story which makes it different from other political movies I have seen, which are largely so serious. This movie passes the message across using laughter as it medium and keeps the attention of the audience to every detail. This is the first Peter James Iengo movie I would be seeing and I look forward to more! Overall, this is a great movie, a mix of everything; politics, comedy and romance. It's a must watch movie. Great job guys!!!

This film has some very funny moments! Despite strong performances by Evan Hall and Dylan Walsh, the acting can be a little tiring. The content of the film is topical and is sadly probably not that far fetched. The focus on sexuality is a little off-putting as well. Terrible musical score. If you're a fan of politics and okay with often crude comedy, check it out. The story takes some time to get going when Guy Poppet's character tries to fix Washington's corrupt political machine. My favourite part was when a politician was asked if he gave a woman an STD he replied, "I did not send flowers to anyone". The budget was probably limited as apparent from characters always came to the main character's small room. Also, lighting and dialogue was not very refined.
