As a connoisseur of lesbian love stories, please do not waste your time with Floored by Love. I only leave reviews of movies that are so painfully awful to sit through --I feel compelled to do my fellow sisters the service of sharing with them how incredibly bad this movie was. Storyline was cliche'. Acting was horrible! No LOVE connection happening at all between the central characters. For it to be only 45 minutes in length --I wasn't sure if I was going to get through it. It was one of those movies that hits you over the head at the end and begs why did you even bother? I don't know how they ever found a distributor. If you want moving, quality lesbian love stories try: When Night Is Falling, Fire, High Art, Desert Hearts, Loving Annabelle, Aimee & Jaguar, A Girl Thing, or Tipping the Velvet to name a few. Floored by Love will leave you wanting to throw the DVD out of your car window and reverse over it a few times!

Totally in love with this movie, it was sweet and relaxing and nice, well...did I mention it was sweet ^^?? Well, never mind. The movie actually tells two stories about gay and lesbian at the same time. A story was about 2 Asian lesbians who wanted to marry each others but they seem to have the problem with their parents (which is, well, the typical Asian parents who are seriously having problems with homosexual). Another story was about a teenager boy who has to decide whether or not he's going to stay with his mum and his kind step dad or going with his dad (who's gay). I won't tell anything more, watch it yourself, it worths it.

If you think marriage is the end-all-be-all, this brief adventure in amateur filmmaking does not provide enough reasons to explain its obsession with it. Being together as a couple for a long time and formally proving one's commitment to the other is the only argument given for wanting a contractual legal bonding. Any other pros, and absolutely no cons, of matrimony are considered. The story of a lesbian relationship, however, is soon hijacked by the coming-out saga of a teenage male and his relationship with his stepfather and visiting Gay biological father. For whatever reason, making a 50 minute movie about two Asian lesbians, their families and mixed cultures (one is Chinese, the other Japanese) was not good enough for the filmmaker.

Floored by Love Both ladies very attractive subtle humour from the mothers involved, story seemed rushed towards the end of the film and definatly not enough loving!
