Carolina's Calling

If this is a scifi movie, then it's a very mediocre one ...

if it's a comedy, then it's failing to deliver since after having watched it for more than 20 minutes i'm still waiting for a giggle or something ...

and the story, 'a revolutionary invention that can solve energy problems but oil cartels don't want it to be mass-produced because it's not good for business ...' is also a cliche' that's been touched and made into movies more than just a few times ...

acting is ok, but direction has made the overall experience into a 'product' of cheap amateurish art? So, i don't know how many stars out of ten would anyone give this on IMDb or anywhere?

Yes it is a low budget indie pic and thoughts some of the comedy was interesting but the two female characters seem to be overly animated and over acting with awful southern accents. The over acting seems intentional but the lead male played the role fairly straight. I found it very annoying. There was little chemistry between the characters.

The movie spent a lot of time supposedly trying to do character development between the scenes that actually developed the plot. It came across as padding.

If the movie had the same comedic tone as toward the end with the alien, it would have been a lot better but the script/plot did not have it.

There are a ton of well made, low budget films out there. Believe me. But this isn't one of them And that's no excuse whatsoever. Just because you have limited funds, doesn't mean you can't have a decent script. The writing in this film was absolutely atrocious. It seemed like it was written by a 12-year old.

It certainly didn't help that the acting was terrible as well. And I know exactly why there were several people posting about what a great movie it was. Can you say "Friends and Family?" That's exactly who gave this little stinker such high marks. Then they had the audacity to make fun of anyone who didn't agree with them. Oh well. If you looking to was a couple hours you'll never get back, watch this pointless "film".

............if you watch this movie.

I mean, it really can't get dumber than this. If you DO WATCH this movie, I think you will literally cause damage to your brain.

Acting? Horrible.

Special effects? Childish and pathetic.

Plot? Ridiculous..

I am just amazed that someone FUNDED something like this and said, "YEP! That's a great idea for a movie."

It's unbelievable.

Don't waste your time.

The last two negative reviews seem a little over the top!!

Obviously Carolina's Calling is a lower budget, Indie film, nothing more, nothing less. With that in mind, it's a cute enough film, you'll get a few laughs!!
