Liberty's Secret

It may not be the best musical but has so much charm, that the low budget works in the movies favor. I watched it on Amazon Prime and liked enough that I bought the film on Amazon. So it's with checking out if want some laughs in a good cheesy love story that comes from the heart.

This is one of the most refreshing movies which deals with homosexuality where sexual scenes have not been overly emphasized. It manages to portrait a complete picture of average America where stereotypes are held in the most brilliant way. It's destined to become a cult! The lyrics and the music are so intelligently intertwined that you catch yourself singing along just after the first few lines. Expect to burst out laughing at any moment.I will watch it again!

This is a feel good movie that is perfectly campy, cheesy, romantic, and impactful. The music good, the lyrics are mostly heartfelt, the characters are likable, and the lampooning of right wing fundies without being mean is awesome. Despite it's obvious technical flaws and low budget style, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. There are two things keeping me from giving it 10 stars. First is the lack of chemistry between the two leads. I just don't feel the romantic spark between them. The second might have helped the first if done properly, and that is that we don't really see the development of a relationship. There's a montage, but the meat of the building of the romantic relationship just wasn't there.

Still, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

Beyond the lilting music, clever lyrics, spirited dancing, and wacky politics, Liberty's Secret is the heartbreaking and heart-enriching story of a young woman struggling to accept her love for another woman.

This basic story has not been told nearly enough in popular culture, and certainly not with the trappings of a classic Hollywood musical!

Jaclene Wilk, as Liberty Smith, brilliantly embodies the fear and doubt of a woman forced to love in silence. Behind her chipper, all-American pose, there is pain in her eyes as she asks herself the question, "I love her. Love is good. How can what I feel be so wrong?"

It's a sweet, wonderful film with a generous heart. Revel in it!

Very clever, lots-of-fun musical that supports same-sex marriage at the same time that it spoofs US politics and those who wrap themselves in the flag of "family values." The film has much humor, and the music and lyrics are wonderful!

This is not a polished movie, but a low-budget independently produced film. It's a little uneven, but over all it's worth the watching - light, funny, clever, and topical. It's a good film to show your Aunt Mary who needs to be educated about "gay marriage" while enjoying a show.
