Bombay Dost Sunday High Movie screening--"No Ordinary Love"
GENRE: Romance/Drama LENGTH: About 1 hour 45 minutes. REVIEWS (from Amazon.com): Actually, the many loves, and types of love, contained in this little film are quite 'ordinary' and happen every day. They just don't usually make it to the big, or little, screen. We have a guy who owns a house. He can't come out because his mother fantasizes that he will get married one day. He rents rooms to a female in a rock band (with whom he, and just about everyone else, has an affair; a dead guy; a narcissistic (and justifiably so) actor who likes it both ways; a cute little Asian boy; and an over-weight bank teller. The movie must be viewed as a self-contained soap opera, considering the myriad twists of plot and sub-plot, which involves the usual betrayal, bank robbery, adultery, and murder. The nicest facet of the story is the developing romance between Vince (the Asian boy) and his 'straight' hispanic neighbor, Ramon -- who is also the son of an abusive father (upon whom his mother is cheating with Andy, the narcissistic actor!). The only two who have any integrity in the film are Ramon and Vince, and they are amply rewarded at the end. Probably only deserves three stars, but the people are cute enough to bump it up to four. And it's just nice to see a film where there is a natural variety of sexual preference. It's not SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, but it is fun. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hot teen actors and crazy plot makes this no ordinary movie This film is amazing! It's full of technical flaws, especially poor editing, that disclose inexperience on the part of its makers. But surprise after surprise, it all comes together beautifully on an entertainment and emotional level. Most of the actors are very good, but for me it was Ramon and Vince that I enjoyed most. These two are really hot, both in looks, but more important, as actors. The dream sequence and the awakening to reality by Vince is probably the most moving part of the film, wonderfully expressed by the actors and director. Also, whoever wrote the script has a real feel for human emotions.A wonderful find for me. Forget the technical and plot craziness and see it! ---------------- Screening Details DATE: Sunday, March 27, 2005.
