    Doesn't deserve neglect

    Although given short shrift by the few critics who watched it, this is a worthy effort, marked by good acting, direction, technicals, and an intelligent script. Although in a state of undress through much of the film, Kelly Lynch is given an opportunity to display the full panoply of her acting range as there are essentially only two actors. And, as so often with independent films, all involved have an opportunity to be truly creative. The desert setting enhanced the starkness of the extreme emotions to which the viewer is exposed.

    Different and Interesting - you might like it as well.

    If you are a film buff, and do not mind a different style of film, this is worthwhile. It does not leave you with such a great feeling, but overall it is done very well. Psychological, even philosophical; thought-provoking.

    Sometimes it is refreshing to see a film venture away from the usual 'Hollywood formula'.

    Precursor to American Beauty...

    I disagree that this movie is strictly a gratuitous sex film. I think it has a lot in common with American Beauty, in that it addresses how we choose to live our lives. In this case, they choose to have sex a lot, but that is not the point. The point is to deny the typical societal roles, and to live life however you want. The film has a lot of funny scenes, good dialogue, and a lot of David Lynch-style bizarre characters. Next to American Beauty, it is one of my favorite films. It is definitely a low-budget, intellectual, art-film, but worth watching if you enjoy intelligent filmmaking with a bit of humor.

    Erotic Lynch-esquire Film

    This dreamy movie, I feel is so uncredited and unnoticed or not given enough credit. It may not be appreciated by many people because there are so many existing films similar to it (e.g. Wild at Heart). But, don't let that get in your way. I found this very similar to such films as 'Blue Velvet', 'Wild at Heart', 'Mulholland Drive', 'Lost Highway' and it strangely is reminiscent of 'Requiem for a Dream'. It's essentially an intense, beautiful, erotic love story. The moods' it creates are very carnal, passionate, melancholy, desperate and dream-like/surreal. I can definitely see the similarities to 'Monster's Ball'. All in all, it's a good but very overlooked film. For fans of depressing love stories and Lynch films, this will be very appealing.

    Ken saves Barbie

    Barbie is sad. Ken is sad. Together they are happy, and Ken

    teaches Barbie to love life.

    The pretentious script, constantly sounding like it's imparting

    pop-psychology wisdom is made doubly silly when it comes out in

    monologues from such incompetent actors, who can't even be

    convincing in the less-demanding, non-verbal, gratuitous sex

    scenes.

    Insipid, sappy, and shallow, Warm Summer Rain can't hold a

    candle to Ordinary People, to which it had been favorably

    compared. The themes are also completely different, with the

    exception of the theme of suicide.

    Avoid at all costs. 2/10
