I stumbled upon this comedy drama "Lee'd the Way" by random luck here in 2023. And I must say that the movie's synopsis definitely sounded interesting enough to make me want to give the movie a chance.
Writer Eugene Mandelcorn managed to put together an interesting enough script for the movie; one that was a combination of fairly well-detailed characters, a light-hearted comedy and also taking jabs at the established political systems of today and how candidacies and campaigns are run and function. And it is those last aspects of the movie that definitely brought flavor to "Lee'd the Way".
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but leading actor Simon Twu and leading actress Carolina Hoyos certainly carried the movie quite well with some very convincing performances. They each brought a lot of charisma and relatable qualities to the movie.
While "Lee'd the Way" was a watchable movie, then I doubt this is hardly a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time, simply because the storyline didn't really have enough facts to grant the storyline enough leverage and contents to support more than a single viewing. And it should also be said that the movie is somewhat of a niche movie, catering to a select target audience, thus making "Lee'd the Way" not a movie that will find a seating with everyone easily.
Director Richard L. Anderson does raise some interesting points throughout the course of the 101 minutes that the movie ran for. And if you have an interest in politics, presidential campaigns, and such, then there is a tad extra to enjoy here, if you don't mind the jabs thrown at aforementioned things.
My rating of "Lee'd the Way" lands on a five out of ten stars.
