    I recommend FDLFDF very highly

    The story will exceed the expectations of every person ever in love. The emotions of joy to sadness, love to hatred, friendship to a broken heart are clearly depicted within each scene. The director visually captured the emotions felt by several different characters in each scene, giving the ability to honestly sense the storyline. The ability to feel the emotions of the characters is captured through various sights, sounds, and places, just as they would play out in real life. It is very well written, and the directing captures every angle imaginable. I admire the extra steps taken to promote the locality of it's filming area. The larger than life steps taken by all involved, to ensure this film is a success, are commendable. The actors and actresses clearly understand the characters they are playing and their emotions are portrayed as if they've lived it before. I am impressed with how well the film was supported and received by the locals where most of the film was shot. I cannot recommend this movie enough!

    Amazing Movie

    This was by far the best independent film I have seen in years. The acting was great.

    It brought be back to a time when I grew up just hanging out with friends.

    The relationships between the main characters reminded me of when I was in high school chasing girls and not succeeding.

    This is a great date movie.

    Something to cuddle up on your couch with your significant other with a bowl of popcorn and watch.

    Overall I would say that this movie is full of laughs and is a good time. It will leave you feeling happy and with a smile on your face.

    Quirky romantic comedy with a great soundtrack

    I enjoyed this film the first time I saw it and loved it the second time around. I found that there are comical moments streamed throughout the film, some blatantly funny and other straight lines dripping with sarcasm. There's silly drama in the foreground of the story and real-life drama underlying, making the film completely relatable. The most charming part of this movie is knowing that these same characters could easily be your own group of friends. Many times I find that the soundtrack to movies overpower the dialogue, drowning out what may or may not be good acting. Not in this film, the music compliments the action of the film. At times it it is an equal partner in setting the mood, as much as any of the acting. Overall, I highly recommend seeing this film. It is well worth your time.

    It leave a smile on your face.

    The movie is an entertaining innocent look at life through a young woman's eyes. She has a state of mind lead by her dreams. It is a pleasant cleaver plot. She patiently calculates, and waits to get what she really wants. You get to share her emotions as she goes through issues with her friends, and family. Yet you don't have to worry about sharing the movie with younger children.

    It's like parking next to a field to count how many wild flowers are growing there. A look at things everyone else might just passes by, and misses out on. It is set in a small town. So if you want to relax, and laugh it is a good choice.

    A strong fledgling film

    FDLFD follows Della and her friends as they work their way through small-town romantic entanglements, all of which seem to fly past Della. Created and Directed by Rhonda Parker as a student film it is impossible to say there are no weak spots in the script or the acting, but the overall tone of the film, the fairly unique approach of a making a romantic comedy with no real action sequences lends a warmer feel to the production.

    Shortcomings can be forgiven easily because the main characters are engaging and the relationships, and the pangs from the relationships, are believable. This does not have the feel of a vanity project. Every once in a while genuine laughs slip in and liven the film up. Comedy is a difficult thing to master, subtle comedy more-so.

    Extremely small-level indie projects like this that rely on character and require time to play out are a rarity, and should be encouraged.

    I am impressed with this film and, for the sake of transparency, I am proud to have been one of the fund-raising contributors, albeit on a small scale. I want to see what Rhonda comes up with next.
