Love, Ludlow (2005)
I kept waiting for the fun part but it never ...
I like to relax, kickback and watch a comedy. Therefor I kept waiting and waiting for the comedy to start. In the end my wait was over, the fun hadn't come. A comedy? questionable. It looks more like an independent movie which leans more toward the genre known as drama.
In 'Love, Ludlow' the life of a woman living and having to take care of her retarded(?) brother is being portrayed. The ups, the downs and how one would have to deal with it; how it affects aspects of life. She's trying to date a guy, pretty sensitive and scared, but in order to start a working relationship both have to overcome and accept the obstacle known as Ludlow (her brother). Very good, very nice imagery, not a good comedy. But definitely a good movie. As a drama (or what I think of as drama) I'd give it an eight point five, as a comedy I'd give it a two, not much fun. After a compromise with myself I gave it a seven.
Mail Order Wife (2004)
Comedy? questionable.
Mail Order Wife, a movie built on true society problems. While watching the movie I was so sure it was a documentary made by a really twisted person. If anything else a comedy made by someone that doesn't understand that there really is a problem, which some parts of the movie really enhance. The only reason I thought it might be a comedy was because I remembered reading it on IMDb.
During the entire movie I thought about how sick and twisted the system is and how sad it is for people in third world countries and even people in the NY ghetto. After it finished the first thing I did was to check if it was the right movie, sadly it was.
It was a waste of time and this is one of the very few movies I give a 1 out of 10.
If people expect comedy, this is a spoiler.
