This is a delightful romantic comedy with a very engaging main actress (Marguerite Moreau). After spending years as a "jerk magnet", she is about to quit the dating scene when lo and behold, two decent guys with real potential come along. Like they say, "it never rains but it pours". She is then faced with the opposite problem of deciding which guy would be the better choice. While watching it, I didn't really know how things would turn out because both guys she was into were actually quite likeable. Fortunately everything ends happily. Well it is a romantic comedy. :)

I thought customers might want to know the specs for this DVD seeing as Amazon has continued its bad habit of omitting tech specs from newer releases. The DVD is by Screen Media Films. It is in it's original aspect ratio of 1.85.1 (enhanced for widescreen TV). Colors are accurate. There is quite a bit of film grain but not too distracting. My only quibble with the presentation is that black levels are closer to a dull grey so that the transfer lacks a sense of depth and richness. Soundwise it's in 2.0 and 5.1 surround with pretty decent sound reproduction. There are no close captions or subtitles contrary to what it says on the backcover and on Amazon.

All in all a very enjoyable movie. Definitely worth a viewing.

I generally enjoy quirky little independent films about modern relationships, but Easy is an exception. It seems to have been marketed as a romantic comedy and, to be fair, there a few nicely comic moments along the way. Unfortunately, the amusing bits would not make up an episode of a tv sitcom. Most of the film is a fairly predictable soap opera with moderately explicit sex scenes which seem to suggest that woman on top is the new missionary position.

The leading character is pleasant enough. Her offbeat nature is underlined by her ridiculous job - the sort that only people in movies have. The composition of the rest of the cast screams political correctness and everyone seems to love everybody else regardless of race, creed, or lack of attractiveness. The problem is that I found it difficult to care about any of them. The rather forced emotions of the script made involvement with them impossible. By the time the happy ending is reached, I found myself thinking: "You could have done that an hour ago." Possibly, some of the problem is mine - I suspect I am not part of the film's target audience. Even so, Easy is nothing special and offers nothing new. It's all been done before and done much better.

The low budget mediocre acting is somewhat forgivable, but I can't look past the over the top plot and emotional psychosis of the main character. What should have been a quirky romantic comedy turned into an incestuous love fest where everyone is sleeping with everyone else. Not only is it a cliche and tired plot, but far from anything remotely realistic. Furthermore the main character is painful to even watch as she traipses through life being "easy" as it were because she's an emotional vampire. In the end we question whether she can be happy with any of the characters, much less the man she ends up with, because she can't ever be happy on her own.

None of these characters are exactly role models nor do any of them actually make for an interesting movie. Save your time and money on this one due to its sheer lack of originality.

There's really not much to this movie. There's no comedy, no action, no suspense, no thrills of any kind. Some women may find a little bit of drama in it, I'm not really sure. I'm a guy, so it's definately not for me. What's advertised on the cover, you get very little of in the film. The girl pictured on the cover hardly reflects the one in the film, so if you are going based on that, then be prepared to be disappointed, just a fair warning. And if you are looking for any sexual content, then look elsewhere. There's really not much at all. A very lame film for men, but it MIGHT be ok for women, I've sat through much better chick flicks though, forcibly at that. Two stars, probably only deserved one. But I don't hate it. I just don't like it.

So basically I can sum this flick up in one word, manipulation. Instead of being 'jerks' these two guys are tugging at this girls heartstrings playing the other side of the 'jerk' mentality. Giving her what she wants, using her desires against her to get her with themselves. As far as I can tell she isn't doing any better with the two guys trying to get in her pants. The only difference is these guys are desperate enough to stay!

The movie isn't what I would call a romantic or a comedy, it's more depressing really and drags on and on with pointless directions that really don't add much to the story at all. I'm not sure why the movie had to go the additional mile after she decided who she wanted to be with.

I'm one who likes a good romance,so I wasn't real sure where this movie would fit in. To my surprise It was a great romance movie in a round about way. It was also a good movie about discovering who other people really are not just their facade; as it was also a good movie in discovering who you really are.It got a little slow in one spot but pulled out in time so you weren't disinterested.

I was surprised I actually liked this movie as I usually avoid "cutesy romances" like the plague. This was well done and really is a movie one can easily relate to.
I'm not saying I would buy it but it is worth a rent or a late night stay up on a movie channel
Marguerite Moreau is a pleasure to look at clothed or not and although not a challenging role she handles it quite well and realistically

Not a great film by any means. The star is attractive but wasted on this story.

When I bought this movie, I was under the assumption that it would be a decent movie that would at the least be interesting enough to hold my attention for around 90 minutes, but I was pleasantly surprised at the substance within the movie and how real the acting felt.

This was positively one of the most well-acted films I have ever seen. All of the supporting cast were great, especially John and Mick. However, the main character absolutely stole the show and really draws the audience in to feel her happiness and pain.

I am sure that everyone has seen plenty of movies, in their time, that attempt to depict relationships in today's world, and they all fall woefully short of the truth. Most movies attempt to show as much nudity as possible and hold back the emotion; while this movie has some nudity, it is effectively done with Moreau being in the moment, either showing her affection or love for the character she is with. Easy was able to pull off "classy" nudity on camera, however "classy" nudity may be able to be. I did not feel at any point that it was overdone, nor was the acting overdone.

Moreau feels like a friend that everybody has and everybody knows that just wants to be happy, but is confused as to how to arrive at that happiness. Easy depicts her journey to happiness and does a phenomenal job of doing so. I whole-heartedly recommend this film to anybody that wants to see an entertaining, true-to-life film that actually "keeps it real."

I have been a fan of Marguerite Moreau since The Mighty Ducks movies. Her career path is much more interesting than the career paths of the other Disney child stars; I especially loved her performances in "Queen of the Damned" and "Firestarter 2"; and the reason that I wanted to watch "Easy" is to see Marguerite Moreau's rendering of the lead character, Jamie.

The movie is a lot of fun, and Marguerite is very endearing in this film.

The only question that I have is about the ending. It comes across, I believe, as a happy ending. But with the track record of Marguerite's character (Jamie), you have to wonder "how long will it last?"

I would very much like to see a sequel to this film, and to find out what happens to the characters 10 years later.
