Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

bjarias Go on bing.com search 'supermodel'.. then do a search for her.. nuf said. She's a pin-up, no way near a true runway supermodel. And then you look at him, the cab driver, and there's no scenario where a true life fashion mag icon is going for him as a full time love partner (they barely do that anyway with anyone.. they're so much into themselves). That's the problem with this film.. the premise just does not hold up in the real world. Label her something different and maybe they get away with it, but as it stands, it just doesn't float. And really seeing that's the basis of the entire film, a six rating is being more than generous, actually a five would be more accurate.

chrish51-708-56965 One of the few movies ever to make me cry. Schaeffer handles the poor boy/rich girl dynamic with a tenderness that breaks your heart. Maybe it's just me, but it seems, like the best Woody Allen movies, New York City plays a big part in this movie. The music is good, too, especially the female shriek at the end (does anyone know where that's from? Was it just done for the movie, or is it from a piece of music I just don't know?) I loved the protagonist's take on God: "I had the best God in the league." Schaeffer has done other excellent movies, too, notably If Lucy Fell.One of the few movies to make me cry.

me_the_student Hmmmm.... So, u r here. I saw it when i was 16 and loved it and eroticism wasn't the only reason. Watched it again a while back. This is a type of movie which doesn't get balanced reviews, either v good ones or very bad ones.... because this is an extreme movie, in its own fashion.... A movie that has an essence to have cult following.... A movie that tries not to compromise artistic credibility in favour of a neat structured format and readily digestible endings.... It has passion, ebbs and flows, it waxes and wanes, its a singsong, and it leaves lose ends, coz life is that way too, always.... The movie uses juxtaposition, placing side by side, two so incredibly different people, and draws out something of a life force out of them....

jpardes I worked on the cutting of this film back in the late 90's. My only awareness of Eric Schaefer up until then was from a failed sitcom on FOX and the film If Lucy Fell, in which his key love interests are Sarah Jessica Parker and ELLE McFRIKKIN-PHIERSON! So it wasn't a surprise to see him writing a scenario in which a seductive, poetry- writing, best-selling novelist of a cab driver picks up a fashion model and enjoys sodomy. What does surprise me is that so many people reviewing this movie seem like they are trying to get their words printed on the sleeve of the DVD release! I have never seen more extreme superlatives attributed to a less deserving filmmaker, with as many vague and obtuse explanations as a 4 year old describing seeing the circus for the first time! Maybe it would help if you Eric Schaefer schuper fans used a technique known as comparison, as in: this was the best movie in the world... since Bio-Dome! Or, Eric Schaefer is the best director in the world...compared to a moldy sock! Let's look over some quotes from some of the more adoringly positive reviews:*"this film has THE BEST script of any movie to date." -here's an example of what I refer to as a slightly over zealous review. No need to use a comparison, because apparently there is none.*"a powerful, majestic, romantic and ultimately profound work of art. THAT makes FALL my favorite movie of all time." -Seriously? How many movies has this person seen? 8? "After you see this movie, DO NOT log onto IMDb and vote for it; not yet. This is a movie that grows, and grows, and grows on you, weeks and months after you see it for the first time. " -Ok. This is my favorite. Clearly this person doesn't want you to review this movie on IMDb after you see it because you will more than likely find it laughably nauseating and therefore mock their emphatic devotion to this loose piece of stool.If you read some of the negative reviews, you'll find explanations that indicate a certain degree of insight, with explanations instead of aphorisms and critique of details instead of hyperbolic hype. Sure, you'll find people like me too, who just think the film stinks and wouldn't give up the time of day to tell you why.
