This movie seemed like my friends from up the street filmed it. (That is not a complimentary comment ) If the director would have given the opportunity for the audience to adjust then maybe it would have made more sense. There seemed to be a lot of jumping around in the script. Plus the way things end up with them was like blah blah blah blah. I was so disappointed with the movie. The actors didn't even seem thrilled with their lines. Oh and the fake mustache was ridiculous. How this movie made the amount of stars I gave it is just because I don't make movies and I'd hate to judge too hard. The movie did have a very clean content which was a breath of fresh air. I just wish that movies like this would couple morality with an actual interesting dialog. At times the movie dialog was so weak that you kept hoping for another line but it would just be something ridiculous sounding . I hope that this helps. If you have Netflix like I do and just watch things with your family and friends in the evening and don't really care if it is an amazing movie and want a clean movie, then watch this one. Just don't expect it to be tremendously entertaining.

Being a Laura Harring fan I decided to buy the DVD despite the horrible reviews, thinking maybe the reviews weren't correct. ALAS! I was wrong. The movie was cliché, the characters were unconvincing and the storyline ..well lets just say you're better off watching paint dry. Yes I sound harsh, trust me it pains me to write such a review for a Laura Harring movie. But being a fan of hers from Mulholland Dr, I expected the sensual fiery Laura.However, she comes off mellow, dry and distracted in the movie. There are bits of comedy but are they worth watching the movie? NO. Watch this movie on a lazy summer night when you just want to make time pass.

This movie is a definite cheesy formulaic romantic comedy. The biggest drawback is the acting, which is sometimes wooden and forced. In general not that great. On the plus side, the cinematography is good. Shot on location in California, it looks like a professional job (as opposed to your neighbor filming with the new camcorder). As for the plot, well as a formulaic movie it is exactly what you expect, but if you like Romantic comedies would you really want it any other way?? In general I would describe this movie like "Taming of the Shrew" meets "A Million to Juan" meets "Beauty and the Beast." My wife and I rented it from the dollar section of our local video rental store. It is an OK way to pass two hours, but I wouldn't buy the video.

LOCO LOVE is predictable fun. It is one of those films that after the first ten minutes, you know where it is going, and how it is going to end. This is a straight forward story that goes from point A to point B with very few twists along the way. Boy meets Girl. Boy and Girl hate each other. Boy and Girl love each other. Boy and Girl break off their relationship. Boy and Girl get back together. Fortunately there are enough fun scenes along the way to make the journey worth taking.The beginning starts out a bit shaky with a jerky exposition and an incredibly bad mustache. It is apparent that this film was made on a very low budget. I thought I was going to hate this film. However, the story slowly became endearing. It's a Taming of the Shrew meets Trading Places kind of story.The story was hampered by the producer/director trying to be too politically correct. The relationship between Donald and Cat also seemed a bit rushed, but it worked well enough keep my interest. What made this film entertaining was the cast of character actors and the little one-liners they were given.While LOCO LOVE is not great entertainment, it is good enough to nuke some popcorn, curl up on the couch and watch this awkward, silly romantic comedy.
