Confused by Love

"Confused"..starts by presenting us with a dilemma that many folks have gone through..and at any age. Ferguson.."don't call me Fergie" and Tiffany have what starts out as a storybook marriage, when they are presented with a challenge that brings a test for both partners. The story takes a nice twist when Reggie, a well meaning friend from college, drops by for a few days to help out but inadvertently creates more tension by bringing along Ferguson's old flame Jo Jo. The characters are very well thought out and the acting is true to the story bringing full blooded performances. Kudos to writer/director/producer/editor Crosby Tatum for taking the high road and bringing us a film that has a lot of heart, some touches of faith in God and in ourselves and presenting to us, the audience, a film that will stay on our minds for more than a few days.

CONFUSED BY LOVE is a heart-warming, really funny drama! I loved how funny this film was. But I really loved how it still dealt with social issues. Also Crosby Tatum is a very talented guy surrounded by very good performers. Other reviewers mentioned the indie budget restraints but I actually thought it made it feel more authentic. If you're looking to be entertained and a bit of social relevance, this film is a must-see!

Charming characters, perfect casting, delivering a beautiful story with meaning and talent. "Confused by Love" presents a reality predicament most anyone can relate even if you're not in the entertainment business. Young married couples struggling to live the American dream and maintain financial stability without missing up the marriage. Whether in bad economy or good that's the R and B of life. Actor Keith Mascoll, as Ferguson, has such a warm and personable soul that make that situation so real and funny at the right moment. Supporting actors Simba Dibinga, as Fergie's old friend Reggie Maxwell, Jamie Perez as Tiffany Marie Middlebecker, Fergie's wife and Jordan Lloyd as Joline 'Jo Jo' Thompson, as Reggie's girlfriend, all key performances in the execution of this insightful chapter of life.

Really enjoyable romantic comedy-drama. With an indie vibe, this film showed some realistic struggles that many can probably relate to, and reactions/interactions that legitimate behavior, even if it's not our best behavior, when dealing with major issues and adding emotions on top of that. While the characters faced serious situations, the mix of humor and dash of faith made this a fun ride.

Fun, funny and probably inspired by real life events, Crosby Tatum takes an interesting look at the complications of relationships, love, redemption and the dream couples share... or not! Fun entertainment!
