plenty of realism here

Bobby Loves Mangos strikes me as perfectly plausible if you consider the three main characters: the "inciting" character is a bit of a sociopath, the principal is a bit of a pompous idiot, and the secretary is a bit of a principal-worshiper (which feeds his pompousness). No, the film does not work at all if we assume that people are perfectly rational logical positivists 100% of the time.

It's a well-done vignette of the *Night Gallery* variety. It doesn't strike me as having feature-film potential because there's about 20 minutes worth of story here. You'd have to package it with other material, embed it somehow in a set of other stories, to make it a decent feature.

An unusual movie, with a surprising twist.

I viewed this movie several years ago, and still remember how much I enjoyed it. I had the opportunity to see it at Boston University as part of a student film festival. While the acting wasn't the caliber of many films I've seen, it was still quite convincing, with a combination of professional and amateur actors. The plot of the film was quite unique, with a true indie feel to it, but it was also quite professional. Ben Cleveland, the producer, did a particularly outstanding job, as you will note if you have an opportunity to see it. Excellent scenery--it was filmed in Boston--with a great surprise ending.

Well paint me red and call me Mannie, this film rocks!

The only thing I want to ask the film makers of this twisting helix of carnal excitement is when on God's green are they going to come out with the feature!? This mind-boggling story has the makings of a "Fargo" but with the twists of "Sixth Sense" or "The Usual Suspects"! It's incredible when a 20-minute short like this one can kick more hiney than 90% of the crapola that comes to the theaters! Kudos towards Stuart Acher, the director, for his great eye, and the writer, Jeremy Catalino, for his ultra-witty script and juicy dialogue! Cast William H. Macy in this thing and make it a feature!

A well made film

Make no mistake, this is a well made, competent film with some good twists. It definitely drew me in and I wanted to see how it would end.

It's well done, but if you read other, overly-gushing raves about this film, I'd take them with a grain of salt - remember that this director is quite a self-promoter!

I think the kid is on to something...

I have seen this movie on IFC, and although it is admittedly a low-budget film, I found the writing to be pretty darn good. If you are looking for a multi-million dollar production, you definitely won't find it here. In fact, the acting itself could use some help. But from a screen writing perspective, I was pleasantly surprised. At least it is not the same old regurgitated crap constantly bombarding our eyes as of late. For those who may not have fully appreciated "Bobby Loves Mangoes", try "Night of the Dog", one of the award winners of the Palm Beach International Film Festival, and give the screen writing at least another shot.
