5.0 out of 5 stars *Rounds Of Applause*, April 2, 2009
By 
PoeticPixie82 (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shades of Ray (Amazon Instant Video)
I have always been a fan of the "independent film" and Shades of Ray does NOT disappoint.

The balance of dramatic and comedic elements was wonderful and the chemistry between the characters was fantastic. I found myself so pulled into the film that I wanted more when it was over.

I highly recommend this for anyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable film, March 23, 2009
This review is from: Shades of Ray (Amazon Instant Video)
This film is a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy that also touches on problems brought on by cultural differences within a family and in the dating world. It was extremely well-cast, with both lead and supporting characters played beautifully. You will see lots of faces you know from your favorite TV shows. This is a "chick flick" that men can enjoy as well. I definitely recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shades Of Ray, April 10, 2009
This review is from: Shades of Ray (DVD)
Shades of Ray
An interesting and entertaining movie about a young man, Ray, trying to find peace, acceptance and love with a family divided by two hugely different cultures. The cast is superb , led by the amazing Zachary Levi (of tv's Chuck) getting to show the dramatic side most people aren't aware of. And Kathy Baker, as always , is a major plus in any project. It should be of interest to anyone with a multi-racial family, or anyone who likes a good love story.
