3.0 out of 5 stars One great story, others stories suck, Dec 5 2006

This review is from: No Ordinary Love (DVD)

The olny reason I put one great story because I'll let guess why, but the parts suck.The parts I'm talking is kevin/wendy/andy/ben stories. It look like it jumping into one story to a another story so fake. I'll tell which one I'm talking about it Vince and Ramon story that I can't get enough of. Those r something else. Love those scenes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hot teen actors and crazy plot makes this no ordinary movie, Jun 20 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: No Ordinary Love (DVD)

This film is amazing! It's full of technical flaws, especially poor editing, that disclose inexperience on the part of its makers. But surprise after surprise, it all comes together beautifully on an entertainment and emotional level.
Most of the actors are very good, but for me it was Ramon and Vince that I enjoyed most. These two are really hot, both in looks, but more important, as actors. The dream sequence and the awakening to reality by Vince is probably the most moving part of the film, wonderfully expressed by the actors and director. Also, whoever wrote the script has a real feel for human emotions.A wonderful find for me. Forget the technical and plot craziness and see it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Crackpot plotting - horrible acting. Never dull, though!, Dec 4 2002

By

Yngvar Myrvold (T�nsberg, Norway) - See all my reviews

This review is from: No Ordinary Love (DVD)

Closeted landlord Kevin lives with his weirdo tenants, an orphaned teenager, a male stripper and a girl playing in an all-girl rock band. Another tenant has recently fallen to his death in a drunken stupor. None of these people pay the rent.

Kevin's mum, who owns the house, threatens Kevin with eviction if he doesn't get some paying tenants who can help her meet the mortgages. Full-figured bank clerk Ben is recruited as the missing tenant, and all seems, well, - well!

Then Vince, the teenager, develops a crush on his latino friend Ramon, while Andy, the male stripper, comforts Ramon's slutty mother. Ben, meanwhile, is not what he appears to be, and Kevin marries the female rock singer to please mommy, even though he is still in love with the dead tenant. Kevin is one stupid guy.

Then things turn nasty...in a very strange way..

Trying to outguess this script is patently impossible. No ordinary love plays like something written by John Waters, directed by Andy Warhol/ Gregg Araki and produced by Aaron Spelling. The totally unsuitable music score leans heavily on Dallas, Melrose place and those icky Chris Columbus comedies. Swirling violins, moody pianos and "funny" pizzicato music whenever fat Ben enters the picture.

The plot is so scrappy it falls apart early on. A lot of interplay between the characters, sure, but nothing is even vaguely related to anything else. The "acting" is brutally bad. The schizofrenic mood never settles. From crime-caper to tender love story via melodrama and mystery back to social critique and satire on family life.

No ordinary love has one thing going for it: It's never dull. Terrible, yes, but never dull. I would choose this over any Chris Columbus movie, anytime. And - it's a gay movie, as well. Sort of. I could never figure it out.

The reviewer from Houston got it absolutely right. This is crazy, plain and simple. Crazy, crazy, crazy.

1.0 out of 5 stars This Movie was AWFUL
I can't remember being so disappointed in a gay/lesbian movie. The DVD package was really good, and that's what attracted me to the film even though I knew nothing about it. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars No redeeming quality whatsoever
This film is bizarre. The plot....err wait there is no plot from my point of view. I'm not sure if the director just wanted to throw people off by creating twists that you'd never... Read more
