This movie was made on the cheap and you can tell. A lesbian (who works in an auto parts store - so cliche) falls for a straight woman who is married and has a kid. (Cliche) They meet at a softball game (BIG TIME CLICHE) and end up having an affair. Lesbian tells hubby she's in love with his wife. Man tells wife and lesbian he's willing to share (!!!!) Lesbian can't take it and leaves the state. Straight girl calls lesbian up and begs her to come back home even though she has no intention of leaving her husband. I won't tell you the ending but of course it has an unhappy ending (it has to have an unhappy ending because it has a lesbian in it.) TO SUM IT UP, THIS MOVIE IS HORRIBLE!!! The straight women only seemed interested in having sex with the lesbian (variety is the spice of life), while the lesbian is interested in having a relationship. (Another dang cliche) I also didn't understand why the straight guy would ever tolerate sharing his wife (who'd I'd dump in a heartbeat) with someone else. I also have NO IDEA why anyone would want to make a film like this because it has such an unhappy ending. As I said at the beginning of this review,this movie was filmed on the cheap and the story and sound track were terrible. I would give this film a ZERO if I could. This is just another horrible and depressing lesbian flick with an unhappy ending among many .... <<SNIFF>>

If your a lesbian in a movie or tv show, you aren't allowed to live happily ever after ...

For a happily ever after lesbian movie, check out, When Night is Falling.

I have never written a movie review for Amazon before, but am compelled now as I wouldn't want anyone to spend their hard earned money on this film. The only thing keeping this movie from being the lesbian "Heaven's Gate" is the budget.

I've seen a lot of lesbian romance movies. Some are cute, some are steamy, some are full of angst and unrequited love.

This one is none of those things. As it strives to convey a sense of reality, a sense that not all decisions are easy, and that some can love more than one person, it loses focus.

From poor sound quality (had the TV all the way up and still missed out) and the dark scenes (left me guessing at what we were viewing in some cases) to the predictable but tragic ending, this is not something that I'd recommend.

Spend your money on Bound or Chutney Popcorn.

It was a Saturday night when my friends and I popped in this DVD with no idea what to expect. By the end of the evening, my stomach hurt so badly from laughing that I have to say that I had a downright good time. There are many problems with this film, number one being that it takes itself so seriously, and with such amateur filming, acting, directing, etc., one cannot afford to believe this will light the film world on fire. We had more fun making fun of this film - its script, non-believable characters, and, of course, the acting, that I would consider seeing it again. My favorite part of the film, however, is when the director/writer/producer thanked each of her fifteen dogs by name in the credits. Too much! Don't buy it, rent it, and have yourself an MST 3000 film night!

I guess anyone with a camera and a crappy script can release a DVD. The director should be put to sleep for for making this movie two hours too long. The sound is so horrible, the backround music is so loud most of the time you can't even understand what the actors say.

Up until tonight, The Cable Guy was the worst movie I'd ever seen. But I have reached a new low.

1) constant, nondescript, third-string lesbian folk music (and random kokopelli) throughout the ENTIRE movie, with no correlation to scene
2) sound quality so terrible, you can hear cars throughout, and some parts are deafening, others are whispers
3) Terrible camera angles. The close-ups are way too close... lots of cut-off chins.
4) psychotic psychotherapist
5) boring-as-ef sex scenes
6) CRYING KISSING. No more crying kissing in lesbian movies! Just say no!
7) Really bad acting. Really really bad.
8) The least flattering wardrobe ever. Movie came out in 2002. There's no excuse, people.
9) OVERACTING
10) stupid cliches like: "I loved you the first second I saw you" and "I was never attracted to a woman before you..."
11) The annoying eyebrow-raising schmuck friend who you want to punch
12) A whole lot more that you'd have to watch the movie for.

But all of these things I could handle in small doses. Listen, I'm someone who genuinely LIKES low culture, and I hated this movie. This is because instead of being the 20-minute short film it should have been, it was stretched to a dreadful 120 minutes. At least 40% of the scenes aren't needed. 90% of the scenes are way, way too long. The pauses between lines of dialogue are too long, too. How many melodramatic facial expressions do we need to know that they're having a hard time? Yes. It's tough. We get it. Now spit out your lines.

This movie is only for the bravest of the brave, for the true, diehard fans of bottom-barrel low culture. It won't be pretty. Whatever you do, do not watch this alone.

Here is something you can do to help you make this movie more bearable. Make Dyke Movie Bingo Boards with the following spaces on them:
1) denim vests
2) special sexy candle time (breast fondling and fade to candles)
3) generic folk music
4) Miller Lite
5) softball, rugby or basketball
6) falling for your best friend
7) crying-kissing
8) gay bashing
9) mechanics/car repair
10) jealous/befuddled boyfriend/husband
11) mullets
12) matching lesbo couple hair
13) skeezy chick at bar
14) love at first sight
15) "you turned me gay"
16) overexplanation of lesbian motifs

Godspeed.

I am a self-admitted movie snob, so I was completely prepared to disregard this film. The production values are shoddy - it's shot on video, the sound quality is bad, the script is pretty poor, lots of production errors BUT... The acting of the three main characters is so absolutely genuine it overcomes those obstacles to draw you into the story. I bawled my eyes out! Even the huge stretch the character of the husband has to make comes across as very believable and loving. I thought the love scenes between the two women were very tender. A bit more passion would have been nice, but still very lovely.

After you get through the awful sound quality and stereotypical characters you reach the most preposterous, horrific ending ever seen. Wow. Truly, absolutely, actually terrible.

..every movie has one - or TRIES to have one. BUT, WHAT EV-ER to the 4 stars and anyone who even wastes our time by including what this film THOUGHT it was trying to say in their review. It absolutely STINKS in every way!

This might be the worst movie I have ever seen... maybe with the exception of "girls can't swim" or "inescapable". The acting was bad, the directing was bad, the sound was bad and the plot even worse. If you want to see a good lesbian movie, try "Fingersmith", "Show me love" or "Saving Face" instead.
