The Price of Kissing

Love is about hurting... love is about overcoming yourself to find your sulfate, which might not be uniquely defined, but once you find him no one else matters. I think the allusion to voodoo and magic is very poetic. Because this is how love works. In a mysterious way, above all conventions and compromises we are taught growing to commit to. Love doesn't abide by fidelity, loyalty, commitment, beautiful words, or romantic gestures. But it does require you to be there for the one you love or the pain you will feel will be so excruciating that will squeeze yourself to complete oblivion. Love doesn't kill but it does make you stronger. You have to look for it genuinely you have to let it mold your character solidify your foundations. Even if you lose it or it doesn't converge to being together with someone at least you will cherish the knowledge of what it means to love.

The only interesting part of this movie was it's jazz and reggae New Orleans back drop. It tries to be one of those movies that has two struggles the heroine has to overcome, one from the past and one from the present which she fails to do convincingly. The acting's bad and the direction is even worse. I'm not surprised at all that this went straight to video. The end result of this film leaves no one satisfied or convinced including the actors themselves.

Not an interesting film featuring characters we don't really care about. A good cast of actors waste their talents and time with this film. Leon, who has done better, produced this film, so I can't help but wonder how true this film is to the script he read. Loretta Devine tries hard but can't save this film with her immeasurable charm. And Jon Seda, who is this close to becoming one of Hollywood's biggest leading men, is completely wasted as well. Not a completely bad film. Just not a good one. Better luck next time people.

This movie is my personal anthem as what has happened in my life up to this point. I can't help but to feel the same as Rene in this movie. It all clicks, no other movie has done this for me. Personally, I would recommend everyone to see this movie. However, I know this movie would not interest everybody. However, I would recommend this to the younger movie crowd as a must see at least once.

I liked this movie because it had a certain fluidity to it in that it moved from scene to scene with grace. The story of a young lady trying to find love is not new, but the presentation of vodoo magic & angels lends to an air of the mistique 1 might hope for. It held my attention thru-out.
