Kalamazoo?

Let me start out be saying that I saw some of the movie being filmed and have a tie to the movie with my car being used in it. That said I am hoping I can be unbiased. The movie gets right to the story with hardly any filler. The actors all did a great job, I have seen so many movies where actors just seem to have a feeling that there time is being wasted and it shows in there performance, This movie did not have any of that. The story was followed through without any forks in the road to get you confused about the plot. The locations of the city and homes looked wonderful. I have to say that with all the good performances that where given Joanna Clair Scott and Josie Davis's really stick with you. In closing this is a fun movie and if you have been to Kalamazoo it will be a real treat for you to see it on the big screen. Ron

The movie addressed fears of people and what they think is expected of themselves from others. It's comedic tone helps us see that the only important appearance we should be concerned with, is showing our happiness with who we are and what we've become. The movie started out a little slow, with a few laughs here and there. However, it picked up steam and got much better toward the middle and end. It was funny, cute, a little sad, and my favorite part, there was a happy ending. It was great to see local town businesses, parks, and city streets filmed in this movie. What a great city...Kalamazoo! And the movie was very enjoyable! I live in Lapeer, and will see it again when it is released on the east side of the state!

As a former Kalamazoo resident with a fondness for the town I was looking forward to seeing this movie. But, what a disappointment! Although the acting and the production values aren't bad, the script is awful, the plot is unrealistic, and the theme is disturbing.

The main message of this film is that Women are nothing without husbands and children. I can hardly believe how regressive it is in it's view of women. Has the writer been living under a rock?

Although I enjoyed seeing my beloved city on the big screen, I wouldn't suggest this movie to anyone. It's terrible. It's an embarrassment to the city it's named after.

Where can I find this movie? I have looked everywhere and looked on alot of movie apps and Googled where to possibly find it or order it.

'Kalamazoo?' opened in its hometown on April 7 and has registered several "sold out" shows. Coverage in the local media report that audiences are loving this movie. The comedic scenes draw huge laughs while the more dramatic scenes have sparked a few tears. Getting to see a local town on the big screen is pretty cool and references to various businesses showcase the producers' pride in their hometown.

The cast -- including Joanna Clare Scott, Mayim Bailik, Josie Davis and Michael Boatman, spent the weekend mixing and mingling with crowds during a series of public appearances and Q&A sessions.

This film is currently running in Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Holland, Grand Haven and Lowell. Even though the premiere festivities have passed, directors Joanna Clare Scott and Dana E. Kowalski continue to speak locally (4/13 at 6:30 p.m. at Herrick Library, Holland). Dates for the next release cities will be announced soon.
