1.0 out of 5 stars Confusion of intent, April 11 2004

Bill (Seattle, Washington United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Confusion of Genders (Widescreen) (DVD)

What was the intent of this film? Oh, yes, some call this a comedy. And I suppose it is, in a very dry way. Don't expect the obvious, slapstick-based French humor of a Francis Veber movie.

But this movie pretends to be more than a comedy. I have to agree with the other reviewer who called this "pretentious French nonsense." That's pretty much what this is -- take it from a foreign film fan who has several French movies on his all-time favorites list.

This is the sort of film where the characters almost always say the opposite of what they feel -- just for effect. Rarely is there any real dialogue. All the characters (unlikable, for the most part) tend to make pronouncements that have nothing to do with what the other character just said.

The main character, in particular, is unbearable. In this movie, he is irresistibly attractive to men and women alike, but the source of his allure remains a mystery throughout. We see him as selfish, uninteresting, depressed, confused and entirely unaware of his internal thoughts and feelings.

I'd recommend giving this a pass.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pretentious French Nonsense, Feb 4 2004

Gadfly-in-Residence (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Confusion of Genders (Widescreen) (DVD)

Now I know why so many people who travel, say that they are sick of the French. I did not care what happened to any of these self-serving, self-aggrandizing, self-centered, and annoyingly selfish characters. Hmmm, I wonder if a pattern is developing here? They all seem to have confused rudeness with sophistication.

The direction was haphazard and the acting entirely too "precious." These people wouldn't know love if it presented itself naked, prone and ready to be mounted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a movie with gay characters and no one dies!, Jan 23 2004

"ankh-dagger" (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Confusion of Genders (Widescreen) (DVD)

Recently I've been renting a lot of gay movies because I was buying them and sadly disappointed by the unhappy endings so many of them have! This was a great movie with interesting characters, a plot line that was followable and attractive people, both gay, straight, bi and well just about everything. Purchased the movie right after watching it. Following a story of a man who loves. Doesn't matter what the sex is, just loves. There are women, there are men. It's a good movie. I recommend it.
