I loved the romance scenes that were going on between Jack and Diane but I just didnt feel the whole movie about them was as passionate as it should. There were more then a few slips. The plot and most of the script was only caused by just very lazy unmotivated writing. Kylie Minogue is a great actress as well as a singer but she honestly should've backed out this project and accepted other ones coming her way that had bigger potential!I've nothing more to discuss but I have to say, I was rather dissapointed that there was even enough effort to make this lesbian love story become a success!

I compare the discovery of a good movie with the discovery of a new passion. It's rare to happen, but when it does it stays with you for a long time and it feels good.
Jack & Diane is one of those discoveries. A film virtually unknown and difficult to explain, which usually means that it is something unusual, or an unbelievable crap.
The official synopsis says it's about the meeting of Jack and Diane, two teenagers lost in New York today, over a summer. Diane got off on her sister and without money or cell phone, does not know how to get back home. Jack does not know what to do with his life, after a great loss. But is not a romantic movie about sex discovery, it's about vomiting, inner monsters, intimate waxing, urban life, long silences, long kisses, deep sleep at a very long time short, packed by a soundtrack composed by those who understand, and excerpts from the unmistakable and enigmatic animation of the Quay brothers. A nugget of gold, that usually are well under the sole of the foot.

I was really disappointed and was expecting a lot more. I feel like I wasted an hour and 45 minutes I'll never get back. I lasted that long in hopes that something interesting would happen. I was at least hoping for some good sex scenes but that was a disappointment too. I usually like indie films because i know it is a struggle to make them on such a tight budget but I def would not recommend this to anyone. I think I sucks that this site makes you put 10 lines of review for a film that is not worth 10 lines but I guess I will play along if I can spare someone else wasting their time on this film and not searching Netflix for something better.

Wow this was an epic failure on the part of the director. The movie was a roller-coaster of emotions that never made sense or came together towards the end of the film. The irony of the film is that he was trying to tell a story about first love, yet the dialogue between the supposed two in love was poor or nonexistent. There was no special bond shown on screen at all which left the audience even more confused after the movie was over. Moreover, there was no character development conveyed throughout the film which would have helped us believe more that the two were falling in love.And yes, is this a film about love, horror, tragedy, or comedy? Who knows? The one thing I enjoyed was the soundtrack and music selection.
