Unreal

I just finished watching this movie, so it is still fresh in my mind. This movie was awful! It was NOT "break-up therapy" as suggested at all!! This movie was more ABOUT reality shows than it was about break-ups/relationships. I think it would have been better if it was presented not as a documentary, but an actual movie. It seems almost realistic, since they didn't use actors and actresses that actually LOOKED like Hollywood actors/actresses (GOOD LOOKING), though I think the Jake character was good looking (I think he might be gay, though? A little too feminine.) Save your money and wait to see it on those B-list movies that come on UPN or something.

Wasn't sure what to expect with this movie but was very pleasantly surprised! It was soooo funny and a very accurate portrayal of single life/dating scene/post break-up stuff. A very cool and clever movie - not often seen in romantic comedies! It has a good and original story and keeps getting better and better as it goes on. It even has some twists as you get to the last third of the movie. It makes fun of reality shows without beating you over the head with any message. And it has a ton of HOT girls in it. I'm in love with the girl who plays Kate. I feel like I've seen her before but can't place my finger on it. Anyway she's the perfect girl! I highly recommend Unreal to anyone who likes cool indie movies.

23 February 2007. Warning: Spoilers. In the style of Blair Witch Project, this much more naturalistic movie with a more realistic theme - breaking up and entering into relationships with other people is one of the best movies ever on the topic. Unreal is like the movie Lost in Translation in real life with power and meaning and connection. The audience is shown the set up of two people breaking up and then purportedly being filmed as they go about continuing life afterwards. What evolves is simplicity and a script that is so natural that its seamless along with a twist that brings new meaning to original, originality. The performances, directing, the script are all top rate due to the very nature of the presentation. Nine out of Ten Stars.

unREAL - as ironically literal as a title could be - is the type of film with such absolutely relate-able truth that it is the perfect movie to watch when getting through a breakup, or for any time in a relationship or single life for that matter. It truly has something for everyone, whether you're the sensitive romantic type, or edgier player type. This movie captures the best and worst parts of every aspect of relationships. With that, it even has a twist in the story while poking fun at reality TV. UNREAL has quickly moved into my favs with REALITY BITES, SINGLES, and SWINGERS. It couldn't be more of a perfect breakup therapy!

I rented "Unreal" with my girlfriend from Hollywood Video last week. She wanted a chick flick and so she was immediately drawn to "Unreal," in it's sleek pink DVD case. But, after a half an hour of watching, I couldn't help but get hooked on this movie about single life in New York. I could really relate to the characters and it perfectly captured both the thrill and frustration of starting new relationships. "Unreal's" mock-documentary style has been done before but it really had a fresh take on the genre. The interviews that were interwoven throughout the story were classic! I always wanted to know what the Naked Cowboy thought about LOVE! Check this movie out...you won't be disappointed!
