5.0 out of 5 stars Too Simple for Some..., June 23, 2003

By 

Michael Joseph "mikkj1" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Amy's O (DVD)

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The characters were believable, the actors well-cast, and the script, though sometimes a bit contrived, well thought out.
What some reviewers have seen as an overcomplicated mish-mash of psycho-babble, and artificial contrivances, was actually quite clear, and to the point. The point is - that life and love, are at heart - simple, direct, and emotional. The movie was about the modern malady of over-analysing every situation. Everyone wants a simple answer to every question, thus the huge popularity of self-help books. The truth however, as pointed out in this movie, is that there are no simple answers to life. Life is complicated, confusing, messy, and if you're having a good one - surprising.
It's only when the lead character (and her friends) stop analysing their relationships and just FEEL them that they succeed in finding happiness. In other words - love and relationships are like fingerprints - no two are alike, and no two can be written about, or analysed, using the same set of standards. We just have to learn to get out of our own way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Julie Davis Just Might Save Us, May 1, 2004

Lots of review people seemed to take this thing way too seriously - but it's only supposed to be a cute little comedy - not Gone With The Wind. And relax, nobody's even taking on Woody Allen here, either.

The Amy character is just your average confused, biological clock-ticking sweetie, that's all. And Julie Davis turned in a fine first effort as director AND star. Try doing that Chaplin bit yourself and you'll see it's like carrying a 100 pound backpack while running for the bus every morning!

The tortured "cross-purposes" priest was funny, the DJ guy was funny, and all of the Amy character's little friends were funny. What more could be asked of a low-budget project? And since the lead character doesn't just talk all the time to other chicks, it's not even a generic chick flick. Excellent!

Plus Julie herself emerged as a very attractive lady in many ways, being a classic neurotic (and erotic) Jewish gem, who is a frequent masturbator and has a perfect posterior (which she wrongly thinks is too big).

As a sidenote, I wonder if our gal - Florida's own Julie Davis - is tired of being constantly mistaken for Australia's Judy Davis? Maybe Julie should just change her name to Amy. That's who we all think of her as now, anyway.

Looking forward to your next project (in front of the camera again) Julie!

This is a great movie, a real departure from the usual rom com formula. I love Nick Chinlund's portrayal of the Howard Stern type...and I love Julie Davis. The movie's only flaw is that the finale stretches credibility, but the rest of the movie really plays up the insecurities and quirks in relationships.
