The Price of Kissing

This movie is anything but ordinary. It really had a deep impact on my life.

i understand that not everyone can understand it. i read some bad comment and i know some people can get it that way. but It was truly magical for me! maybe it's not realistic but it wasn't supposed to be! i was 13 or something when i first saw it and i like to believe it toughed me few things on life. i watched it around 20 times over last 7 years or so.and i still think it's amazing!

i know that there are people who didn't like this movie.but don't rely on anyones comments before you've seen it yourself! excellent cast!i highly recommend it!

Not an interesting film featuring characters we don't really care about. A good cast of actors waste their talents and time with this film. Leon, who has done better, produced this film, so I can't help but wonder how true this film is to the script he read. Loretta Devine tries hard but can't save this film with her immeasurable charm. And Jon Seda, who is this close to becoming one of Hollywood's biggest leading men, is completely wasted as well. Not a completely bad film. Just not a good one. Better luck next time people.

The only interesting part of this movie was it's jazz and reggae New Orleans back drop. It tries to be one of those movies that has two struggles the heroine has to overcome, one from the past and one from the present which she fails to do convincingly. The acting's bad and the direction is even worse. I'm not surprised at all that this went straight to video. The end result of this film leaves no one satisfied or convinced including the actors themselves.

I liked this movie because it had a certain fluidity to it in that it moved from scene to scene with grace. The story of a young lady trying to find love is not new, but the presentation of vodoo magic & angels lends to an air of the mistique 1 might hope for. It held my attention thru-out.

This movie has a few good performances going for it -- and that's all it has going for it. The leads, especially Pauley Perrette, are appealing. (Although some of the bit players seem to be acting from a teleprompter.) The material -- that is the problem. I feel as though the screenwriter/director watched the entire run of Felicity in one sitting, then sat down to write a script without catching any sleep. It really did remind me of Felicity -- a thoughtful young woman finding herself, finding love, with a shake-them-up-and- see-what-happens approach to the characters and their relationships. Except that while I usually enjoyed watching Felicity, this movie left me cold. The writing is just awful. It's amazing that the cast could come off as well as they did, as the dialogue is dull at best. At its worst it becomes trite, stilted and amateurish. There is nothing original here, with plot elements recycled from gimmicks that weren't so brilliant to begin with. (Angels and fortune tellers? Come on.) For the first half of the movie, I rooted for the actors and hoped to be rewarded for my patience. By the second half, I just wished for it to end already. My sympathies to the cast, who deserved a better vehicle for their talents.
