Resisting Roots

Wish I could get my 90 minutes back this was the most horrible film ever made it felt like the rough cut and it made no sense whatsoever passionflix made another snooze fest.

I am committed to Tosca Musk's vision with Passionflix and while I have not read Resisting Roots...I am going to assume she stayed as true to the source material as she did with her other movies and series like Driven and Gabriel's Inferno. I have a lot of respect and really appreciate her tackling popular romantic fiction and trying to bring them to life on screen. As with all things journeys aren't always perfect, but I for one am enjoying the ride.

Ok, now the review...was this my favorite of the passionflix offerings, no, but was it a good romantic film-yes. It had all the element of romance, including a little drama. The lead actress, Elizabeth Posey, was phenomenal and really made this film work (don't loose her). I thought the male lead, Lou Ferrigno Jr (any relation to the real Hulk that I grew up with?), was a little rough in the beginning which did add some awkwardness...but settled down and seemed to find his stride more in the middle of the film. I think some of his deliveries were a little too fast paced and short...but that may just have been the direction that he was given. The supporting cast was great, especially the kids, and it was fun to see Tosca Musk herself in a bit role as the chakra aligning "Crystal".

The story was good enough that I am inspired to read the book (which I haven't) and had me waking up the next morning after dreaming about yoga! (So, thanks for that!)

I think romantics will enjoy this film along with other Passionflix fans. I don't think it will break into my top offerings on Passionflix: Driven, Dirty Sexy Saint, The Will, Afterburn, and the Gabriel's Inferno series...but still a recommendation to see.

The movie was so cute & romantic. All the actors did a great job & the chemistry between the leading roles was spot on. 👏🏼 It keeps you guessing and has a plot twist towards the end. All in all, great movie!

This movie hit all the marks with its inspiration from the book. It showcased the book so perfectly making the characters and storyline come to life. It depicts empowerment though yoga with a side of life circumstances. Highly recommended !!

I have no words. I watched this because I recently became hooked on Lou Ferrigno Jr and I thought it'd be nice to watch his previous works to pass time. Bad idea. I pretty much lost all respect for him after this. Although kudos for keeping a straight face for the entire movie, Lou. I don't know how you did it, you're a good actor.

I had to pause every few minutes to take a deep breath because the plot was simply disturbing. Whoever wrote this, I fear for you mental health. The story made absolutely no sense, the dialogues made me cringe so hard, there're holes on my floor dug by my cringed toes. And every time the male lead called the female lead "gumdrop", a puppy dies.
