Go with Le Flo

We watched this because the other choices were too dark and heavy for the current times. We wanted something light, quirky, and fun. Boy did this deliver! The two main characters were delightful and lovable. It was enjoyable and left us feeling much better about the days. Another delight was the credits at the end...matching the names with images of the actors and crew was wonderful and made us feel as if we were invited into the films family.

It was good and I'd recommend it to everyone

Saw it twice, once with a lady, once with a guy friend. Good both times.

This is a sweet, unpretentious comedy that uses lighthearted humor, impossible situations, absurdity and a little tongue in cheek delivery to bring a very clean, delightful story to the screen.

The setting is charming.

The subtitles are well paced.

Take a break from Hollywood tedium, and try something creative and fresh.

Go With Le FLo!

This is a pleasant romantic comedy. I found myself smiling almost the entire movie and laughing out loud a few times. There's an atmosphere that pervades the film that I couldn't put my finger on. But when I saw the outtakes at the end I figured out what it was: They actually had FUN making this. That percolates throughout the film. I also speak German so I got a take on the film that not every American does: Glover and Machrowiak's dialog is written the way people would like to be able to talk. (Like the old-style movies used to do.) It's witty and perfectly timed - like a song. If only we could do this in every day life... The dialog style would be tricky for many actors, but Denis Aubert (Florian) and Marina Senckel (Jenny) make it work. One character who seems quirky and quick enough to almost be this witty is Tina - the shop assistant - played by Roberta Bianchini. Her job interview scene and the back and forth about the trials of dating - with Florian - is a comedic highpoint. It's only occasionally that the humor is paid for at the expense of credibility. But this is a screwball comedy, not a historical drama, so credibility is not the number one priority. Overall, I think it's a worthwhile movie to watch and I give extra points for the lack of guns, violence, explosions or profanity. (Very rare indeed in 2014.)

There is a playful spirit in this film that made me laugh and smile from the moment I saw the trailer. I found my experience watching the film as enjoyable as the film has an upbeat tempo and a humor beneath the surface of the words spoken. I appreciated the setting in Berlin and enjoyed feeling like I was in Europe with them while watching. I appreciated the ordinary people portrayed in the film. As the world is full of so many different people--how refreshing to see that reflected in the realness of the people cast. Learning that the cast and crew came together from 20 countries made the film all the more endearing...It is clear that this film is full of love beyond the story...and the world can always use more love and people creating from that place.

Knowing the limited resources and micro budget this production had, I was pleasantly surprised to be completely engaged in the film, both times I watched it. The story and performances felt very genuine. It's rare to see so much talent in front of the camera in a movie of this scale while wonderfully written and orchestrated by up and coming director Michael Glover.

Where many independent films start to drag on and get boring, this film picks up the pace with fun slapstick charisma. And new characters are delightfully introduced, grabbing at the audience in witty confrontation.

The film closes with what may seem to be a cheese ball flair of emotion. But in keeping with the style of the film, it doesn't come off that way at all. It plays as tasteful humor, mixed with relatable heart warming fun, in a well crafted slapstick fashion.
