Product Description
Video Details
Six different friends. Three kinds of love. In this cutting-edge drama from award-winning New Zealand filmmaker Garth Maxwell (Jack Be Nimble), washed up singer Katie ("Once Were Warriors'" Rena Owen) struggles to create a new life for herself while coping with yearning admirer Eddie and living with her best friend, Stephen, who's in love with sexually confused ex-hustler Mark. Meanwhile uninhibited band members Fig and Sally yearn for success--and each other! Funny, touching, and insightful, this honest and sometimes twisted tale exposes the complication brought about by love, friendship, and desire--not necessarily in that order.

Great!,

This review is from: When Love Comes (DVD)
Life is more than just sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll in this gritty comic melodrama set in the New Zealand music industry. Drummer Fig (Nancy Brunning) and singer Sally (Sophia Hawthorne) are lovers and aspiring pop stars trying to jump-start their music careers. The girls seek help from a former pop diva named Katie Keane (Rena Owen), a one-time chart-topper who has returned home to recover from a downward spiral. They are also aided by their irresistibly cute but emotionally strung out songwriter, Mark (Dean O'Gorman), and Stephen (Simon Prast) Mark's frustrated boyfriend, who is Katie's best friend. When Love Comes features some catchy pop songs amid the turmoil of Mark and Steven's tempestuous relationship, but the film's greatest attraction is Owen's outstanding performance as the washed up Keane. This funky, life-affirming film proves that there is nothing like true romance and the love of some good friends to cure the blues during a chaotic summer.

Being Ready When Love Comes,
By "allanm888" (Norfolk, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When Love Comes (DVD)
Are we ever ready when love comes? When it comes, do we know it is love? These are some of the questions this movie answers. Using music with lyrics that touch your heart, the movie explores three relationships in different levels. Worth watching.
