Meh

First of all, if you didn't read the plot outline on this site you will be an hour into the movie before you have any idea what it's about. I liked the absurd idea of a gang of lifeguard criminals but the rest of the movie is really pointless. Everything after the second scene till about an hour and ten minutes in is just filler. They could have cut this down to a half hour short and you wouldn't miss anything. To make it even worse, it's one of those movies that wants you to figure things out instead of explaining them. I wouldn't mind that if they hadn't wasted an hour on stuff that had nothing to do with the story. It's not a bad movie but I wouldn't even tell anyone I saw it.

A Film Staring a Bevy of up and coming Comedians

"The Man from Orlando" stars a talented and young group of upcoming actors in a "dramedy" that is at times both edgy and hilarious. The team of actors (including Sam Edison of "Zero Charisma" fame) have great chemistry together it's fun to watch the situations and dilemmas these characters get themselves into in this film. Often in an indie film, the acting can be a difficult hurdle to overcome, but thankfully the ensemble effort of the actors involved helps to elevate this film above a lot of its indie competition.

Following the story of Orlando, a man who is trying to escape the deeds of his past, "The Man from Orlando" is an interesting display of rising talent that will be talked about for awhile.
