Along Came Wanda

Sweet. Funny. Unexpected. A great lesbian road trip romp. Cathy DeBuono and Constance Brenneman were delightful as was the rest of the cast. A compelling story with some clever twists.

I laughed more than I expected to because Cathy DeBuono is fabulous as quirky Wanda. I loved Constance Brenneman in The Toy Soldiers so was glad to see that she is a great actress all around. I fell in love with these two women just as Wanda was hoping that Mary Beth would fall in love with her. Did she? See the movie. You are in for many surprises along the way. Gorgeous ranch hand Adam Huss can come put me on a horse any time. Loved the yoga scene especially. I could go on and on. Applause to the writer and director for bringing us 90 minutes of pue fun, some tears, and a lot of love.

This movie is a great reminder to LIVE life...not the one you someone directed you to exist in...but the one. Your heart & soul desire that fulfills you to all you deserve of this one life we are given. Soo many people are just existing in this place of "contentment" that they have been conditioned and have forgotten what life is truly all about and the gift we are blessed with every day, that all we have is now and each of us is on our own journey to experience all we desire and embrace each moment. Just as much as we need to embrace those whom we are blessed to share this journey with that come into our lives and all they have to give to us, teach us or show us...whether for a moment or a lifetime.

The authentic nature of each character portrayed truly brought you in to the film, especially that of Wanda, played by Cathy DeBuono.

It's a fun romantic comedy that keeps you guessing until the end. Will they or won't they? I'm still smiling. It felt good to laugh out loud. Cathy DeBuono delivers best performance I've ever seen her deliver. And I'd fall in love with Mary Beth too. She is beautiful. See it. It's wonderful.

I watched this on Valentine's Day with my wife...my cynical, hard to please wife when it comes to lesbian movies, as she wants them to be more mainstream. Me? I just enjoy any kind of representation so I'll admit when something is poorly done, but still love the effort. This movie, however, is good. I loved it and my wife thought it was "cute", meaning she enjoyed it, too.

As a fan of Cathy DeBuono I thought it was the best I've ever seen her. Yes, she is very funny as Wanda, but, had some brief scenes showing the depth of her character'a "backstory" peaking through. I think that's something she's never been afforded in some of her past performances and maybe the sign of a good director, too?

It's no wonder she's won so many Best Actress awards at the film festivals for this role this past year. And, Constance Brenaman is perfect for her part, too. She plays off DeBuono, and others very well and you can see in her face that Wanda is just the breath of fresh air she needs and has needed for a long time.

All of the other characters and actors are great, too. I especially loved Davina, whose role in Wanda's life is much bigger than we're first led to believe. What a great character in this movie!

Overall, this movie just made me feel good. It's another good one like "Snapshots", which made me a Jan Miller Corran fan. (Which is another movie that I love!) See it. Funny, and poignant. 10/10.
