Amor Verdadeiro

Started off well. Bad acting and bad actors everywhere.

Scenes are too short. Why show it being thanksgiving or Christmas if you show it only for a few seconds and the characters aren't doing much in the scene?

Most of the characters have that fake, unrealistic "white voice" as if they are auditioning and reading the script for the first time. It's beyond proper speech, they are "talking white'.

The main characters best friends are annoying. Especially the one that "talks white".

The teacher only ever talks to the main character. How realistic is that?...

The man character almost seems to have no emotion in scenes that would normally make a person livid.

It's a love story but you never really even saw anything develop.

I wanted to like this but it was a low budget, black lifetime movie. Perfect to let play in the background.

This movie really surprised me. I was prepared to watch teenaged psychos. Instead, this is a beautiful love story.

Kendra (Ajiona Alexus) is an aspiring young photographer from a working class family. She is attending an HBCU in North Carolina on a scholarship. There she meets the handsome young Ben (Da'Vinchi). Ben is from an affluent family. Despite their differing backgrounds and Ben's disapproving parents, they fall in love. Their love is challenged from the beginning, and they eventually have to make decisions that affect both their futures.

Alexus' and Da'Vinchi's on screen chemistry is palpable. This is a well written script, with a talented cast. This movie is well worth the watch.

It's been awhile since I have seen a good love story that I could watch from beginning to end. The chemistry was strong and the script was well written. I got the same warm feeling inside that I did from Love & Basketball. You want to root for them and their storylines are based in reality.

I love the nostaligia of the times in which the move was set as well as the feeling of watching young love unfold. The differences between the wealthy and commoners and the need to chase your dreams but also following your heart. Such a feel good movie with a few twist to keep you interested in it. Great job.
