This is a story about a guy trying to found out who he really is, with a love story twist. I was really impressed by the actor playing the lead character. I had never seen any of his work , but his portrayal of an out-of-work actor was engaging and realistic. There is a lot of meat to the script; and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Let me not fail to mention as well, that actor Hill Harper had a small part in the film that was equally compelling.
Superb actors...average storytelling and production December 18, 2008 BMAR (Northern USA)
I absolutely love Hill Harper and adore Zoe Saldana. It is a shame that this is the best that these amazing African American actors can get in terms of work. Hill Harper's character is days away from marrying his beautiful fiance Charli (Zoe Saldana) when Charli runs into her former fiance and still aspiring actor Cool. Cool's reappearance in Charli's life makes her rethink her pending marriage. It's not that this is a completely horrible story, but the story line and production are average at best. These movie is slow in parts and contains out of place comedic scenes that border on buffoonery. Too bad for these amazing actors and some of the other good African American characters in this film.
Refreshing May 29, 2008 Saraya79 (New York, New York)
Premium offers a fresh perspective on relationships flavored with a mix of family comedy. It's wonderful to watch and the characters are developed enough to carry out the theme and plot. I look forward to more of Mr. Chatmon's films- I am sure as his career develops he will leave an indelible mark in the industry.
Pretty Good acting good realistic love story May 10, 2008 D. Lynch (NY, NY)
It started out slow. Very god acting. IM glad they dint use Eva from top model fame as the lead actress just because. But good looking cast. Realistic story. I didnt particularly like some of the dialogue or the scenes where he is going for auditions but the chemistry in the lvoe story is great and it rings true with a decent message. IM debating whether to purchase however. Will i really ever watch it again? hmm..... rent it.
Deliciously Boring January 23, 2008 IsSoUKnow (ft pierce, fl United States)
This movie should not have an average rating of 4 stars. This show is definately not 5 star material. It's a 3 at best, but I'm giving it a two. I didn't hate this at all, but I didn't like it very much either. It was so long, and dry, and boring...I managed to push through and watch it all but it was difficult. All of the actors were pretty good in this, except for Zoe Saldana. This woman is a terrible actress to me. Her acting is so bland. I dont know what her problem is, it's like she takes a tranquilizer before she goes on set or something. This was a boring movie, and the sordid "relationship" between Cool and Zoe Saldana's charachter was senseless. It was like watching a movie within a movie, but this particular storyline didn't fit. This movie really didn't look like a B-movie. The lighting was good, the audio was great, and there was mostly veteran actors in it, too. I would say definately rent before you buy. I was going to buy this until I saw it at Blockbuster so I rented it and ermmm...... I have no intention of buying.
