Awful movie

I would recommend you gouge your brain out with a spoon if you still want to see this movie ... acting is terrible story is already predictable and the production quality is dismal to say the least The movie starts off with slow pace and promising beginning but meanders and loses course in mid you can guess the ending straightforward ... well the lesbian scenes are sensuous but I m guessing if I really want some good soft core pornography i would rather order a DVD than waste my time on it which makes me wonder why i wasted 1hr and 22 min of my life on this utter piece of crap ... well perhaps to warn you good folks to save your time and mind

Fun and enjoyable. Easy to watch.

The Guest House is not, by any stretch of imagination, a "good movie." However, it is an enjoyable, easy to watch romp in lesbian fantasy-land. If you are looking for flowing dialog, lack of cliché's, though- provoking storyline conflict, then this film is not for you. However, if you would like to check out of the real world for a while, and watch two beautiful women fall in love Romeo and Juliet style (minus the suicides, plus the sensual sex scenes) then by all means, this film is worth your time. Sure the plot is predictable. Sure the dialog is a little clichéd. And I'll admit, the giggles are a little annoying. But sometimes, that's all you want in a movie, right?

Just plain bad.

This movie is HORRIBLE. The acting was so bad. If I could give it negative stars I would. I was pretty excited about the plot at first. I love movies about forbidden love. I was extremely let down. The love scenes were so awkward and totally fake. I know it's all acting but come on at least try to seem interested. I've seen elementary school plays with better acting. I'm so glad I watched it on Netflix. If I spent any sort of money on this movie alone I would have been upset. Don't waste your time! Watching paint dry would be a better use of time than watching this movie. The only character I liked was the boyfriend in the beginning. He was actually really funny. He wasn't supposed to be funny though so he did a terrible job acting as well. I don't know how (or why) but I managed to sit through the entire thing. I guess I was hoping it would get better? It didn't.

Decent movie

If you want a movie that is just pure escapism then it is a very good movie. The acting isn't bad, the 2 actresses seem to have chemistry and just are having fun with the movie. In other words, it doesn't seem they were forced together to do a job and behind the scenes hated each other. I have seen far worse acting. When an actor can make you forget about reality and care about the character, then they are good at what they do. BOTH actresses have that ability in this movie.

As for nudity, IF that is all you truly want look elsewhere. This is a simple love story and very realistic. As a straight man, it made me think and appreciate women more.

The Guest House 2012

Well, there's 90 minutes I can't get back and I'm blaming IMDB. Why, you ask? Because after I watched the Pauly Shore/Aimee Teegarden Guest House (2020), the suggestions that came up here included the earlier version. So I found it watched it...and really wish I hadn't.

The story might have been okay, had it been properly shot. This film looked like someone with a very unsteady hand had been thrown a camcorder for the duration and asked to make this movie. And not even an expensive camcorder, either. Just your standard run-of-the-mill one.

Anyway, older girl and younger girl fall in love over the weekend. Both have baggage and there's a bit of a plot twist late that - no spoilers here - I kinda figured out twenty minutes in. If you're looking for lots of white-hot girl on girl action, keep going. What there is of that is pretty concealed.

Oh, but there is a gorgeous sunset scene on the Santa Monica Pier ferris wheel. That's about the best this film has to offer.

Quotes
[first lines]
Jason: [impassive tone] Look... you know this is for the best. I love you, but I want to enjoy my college experience. I'll be away from my parents for the first time in my life. And I'll be making new friends... and I'll have the opportunity to grow as a person. And you can do the same thing. Hey, baby doll? We had a good run. We were together most of senior year and most of the summer. Don't be sad. Just focus on the good times we had. This isn't bad. This is good. Come on... gimme a smile. There she is. There's my little angel face. You know that I never wanted to hurt you.
[Jason leans forward to kiss Rachel who suddenly punches him in his face]
Rachel: Fucking asshole! You're a selfish, fucking asshole! You couldn't have decided to break up with me nine hours ago before you fucked me with that little dick of yours?
Jason: Little? Really? You're just think that way because you're a whore!
Rachel: And you're a little bitch!
Jason: I am not! And you're a crazy bitch!
Rachel: Damn right I'm a crazy bitch.
