This movie was just bad. You dont need much more of a review past that.
Rating: 1 / 5
This looked interesting so I took a chance on Jason and Marianna. It’s characters are quirky, I’ll give it that, but there just is not alot going on. Maybe I wanted to get further along in the relationship, or lack thereof. Maybe I just wanted to see something like the cover implied. Maybe I just couldn’t relate to the characters, but it just didn’t move me. The lameness of chasing this woman seems obvious.
Anyway, I may just be biased as I paid the full 20 bucks for the movie. It’s more
like a 5 dollar discount bin movie. Or a two dollar weekday rental to relieve
boredom.
I’m sure Ritter and Plaka got a nice dinner out of my expense. But I think I’d like my money and time back.
Rating: 2 / 5
Fantastic film that sheds light into the tragic reality of how child molestation (or any other life-changing,traumatizing event) can lead a woman to close herself off to any close relationship. The movie is odd at first as one sees an eccentric woman who is completely rude to a guy that starts falling in love with her. As the movie progresses you begin to see why she is so isolated and belligerent towards nice people. Contrary to what the majority of the other reviews have said, the end is probably the best in that one doesn’t see the usual ” guy gets girl” scenario; it’s more about how the girl finally triumphs over the fact that she was raped/molested by her father as a little girl, and how the man that showed so much affection to her throughout the film helped her get better merely for goodness sake.

this film is absolutely beautiful. the movie had me amused and laughing from the beginning. the writer/director/actor did an amazing job. the movie flows well, is edited perfectly, and grabs your heart as well as touch your funny bone. no where else will you find a stalker who is so lovable!
Rating: 5 / 5
How could a film be a tragic romantic comedy . . . well, take two quirky but lovable young adults, both of whom have been roughed up rather badly in the first few years of their life, have them fall in love and then watch the fireworks until the happy ending I guess.
There are some very funny scenes but I think the tragedy is a more predominant theme as the male lead has been through heavy drug abuse (recovering) and evidently prostituted himself while living on the beaches of L.A. while the female lead’s father sexually exploited here.
Jason Ritter, playing the determined suitor of Marianna Palka, draws her out of her depression and through their interaction she is able to face life again (she seldom leaves her apartment).
The action is set around a video store where Ritter and three other guys work, the three other guys Ritter’s best friends.
The intriguing aspect of this film is in the depth and complexity of the two main character portrayals through the excellent acting. I mean really . . . this theme has been done before so it is all in the substance of the characters.
By the end of the film I was rooting for both of them . . . I really know a film is good when my eyes tear up at the end.
