Loverboy

LoverBoy – TRASH IT (C+) After watching George Pistereanu & Ada Condeescu debut performance in critically acclaimed Romanian movie" Eu cand vreau sa fluier, fluier". I was really eager to watch George Pistereanu in LoverBoy in an unconventional love story. Before watching this I didn't knew it stars Ada Condeescu as well which was a pleasant surprise. But sadly an unconventional and sensitive concept about a young boy luring young girls for selling them in human trafficking and using them as prostitutes is amateurishly filmed. The boy pimping his girlfriend as prostitute is a riveting topic but it's not understandable how none of the girls ever mention him to police. He is good-looking for sure but not worth ruining your life as prostitutes. Anyways ,George Pistereanu know how to plays reckless teen as he has already done in" Eu cand vreau sa fluier, fluier", the difference is only he has longer hair now and he is out of prison. Ada Condeescu is not your typical hot girl but she is surely exotic. Their chemistry and sex scenes are the only good part of the movie I believe otherwise the movie is pretty tedious and nor hard-core or soft-core. With an incomplete ending, the only thing you remember is George Pistereanu and Ada Condeescu hot&heavy. I hope their next venture won't be sooo disappointing.

I won't leave a bad review just because I needed to watch a documentary about sex-trafficking with a silly happy ending so my sleep won't get disturbed by something that I can't process and manage properly.

Well, I can go beyond all those ridiculous expectations and notice the forgotten taste of noir where bad dudes and gorgeous vamps made the world go round. But this movie goes even deeper than this: every scene is an oportunity to generate amazing visual poetry, to find the right angle and the right amount of light and turn the seemingly dull scenario into magic.

I'm not a fan of Romanian cinema but I begin watching it anyways, while asking myself how are they going to make an actual movie based on such a sinister and bleak reality. But they actually managed to create not only an interesting plot but also a strange and exotic world. I live in Transylvania and this type of setting couldn't be more exotic and unusual for me.

The movie has "that someting", it's charming and captivating. Despite the bad ending, the takeaway is substantial and the style is sophisticated which is a remarkable achievement for a movie about people with no academic background whatsoever.

This may sound as a defence against other reviews that may not understand the life in the country that this movie was produced. A movie doesn't have to be nice or have nice backgrounds. A movie needs to convey a message, this movie represents the reality in wich prostitution is born in Romania, it is not supposed to be nice, it is ugly, sad, desolate. The scenes are dirty, resembling poor villages, people in the lower class of society, bad music and desperate humans. I don't expect the western culture to understand it but saying it is bad because it is doing and showing what it was supposed to do and show is just wrong. It is a great movie? No. Absolutely not. Is it a good movie to take a peak inside the horrible process of prostitution that starts in the poor villages of Romania? (the manipulation, the blindness to danger in full sight, emotional blackmailing and more) yes. The movie was low budget and part of a campaign against human trafficking in Romania.

I liked it very much. Directed and edited in a style much different from the one offered by Hollywood movies, deals concrete problems of life. It's a good lesson for young naive women, who under the influence of a burning passion, can take wrong decisions, from which will suffer all their life. It is also a good opportunity to see things from parent's perspective - who opposed some of our decisions sometimes and we just couldn't understand them. "How can be wrong when I KNOW and I FEEL it's good? Parents just don't understand!!" Well, this movie shows you very clearly how something we felt it was perfectly good, can be awfully wrong...

One of the worst movies i've ever seen. I understand that this movies don't have good budget but that doesn't explain the bad script,poor dialog, the awful end and stupid story. I don't get why people make movies if they don't have a good plot for it. It's a wanna be realistic movie but honestly a movie have to be nice and the scenes must have a nice background to make somebody want to watch. This movie hurts my eyes and my ears...the music. I was just stupefied and watched it to see how bad Romanian movies are. So please, don't watch this and don't give it good reviews just cause it's a Romanian movie. After I saw it my first though was...God,I gotta write a good script to make a nice Romanian movie
