Jovi & Lou

Part The Seventh Seal, part Miracle Workers, and part Book of Jo (but a hell of a lot funnier,) this is a fast and funny indie comedy with a lot of charm and quirk to it. Definitely worth watching if you're looking for something fun and off the beaten path!

Victoria Strange offers a stand-out performance here, and. Trevor Van Uden is clearly having a lot of as her counterpart. The back and forth between God and Satan here adds a refreshing twist to a story we're all familiar with.

And at only 77 minutes, the film doesn't overstay its welcome, which is a refreshing change of pace in an era of long movies! Definitely worth a watch!

What a refreshing indie comedy! It's cute and edgy. The idea of God as a woman is not new but a gay black Jesus is not something I have seen before and the actor who plays the character pulls it off wonderfully. I watch a lot of indie movies and I gotta say this one has a lot going for it. The story is original and though provoking yet funny as hell. Several times I was laughing out loud. All the acting is believable, something that is often lacking in indie movies. Overall the production is of high quality. It's not one of those one room movies that seem to be so popular these days. It looks like they went to great lengths to find interesting locations and sceneries. I give it two thumbs up.

I guess I'll write my first review since there's only one real one for this movie right now. It's ok. It's not a 3 and it's not a 7...somewhere between those limits.

The storyline is decently paced with just a little bit of drag. There are some good chuckles but no huge laughs. That said it wasn't painful to watch either.

It is an indy but looks very good. Yes you can catch the cameraman in the window (maybe that's Terry's homage to Kevin Smith?) but overall the look of the film is excellent.

That said, the acting is very uneven with Jovi and Lou being consistently good, Mary and Joey being mostly good but with a couple of stilted scenes, and Detective Harris...I don't know maybe she's married to the director?

The most annoying thing about the movie is the soundtrack (Director and writer Terry Spears would have been better served if he'd let somebody else do that job).

The ending was telegraphed but overall it was fun. For me that all adds up to a 6.

In a haunting tale of love and sacrifice, 'Jovi and Lou' delves into the depths of the supernatural. Joey, devastated by his wife Mary's coma after a tragic car crash, takes a desperate plunge into a macabre bargain with the mysterious Lou. What ensues is a gripping journey into the otherworldly, where immortals Jovi and Lou manipulate human destinies as if playing an elaborate game. The film intricately weaves a narrative that blurs the lines between mortality and the supernatural, creating an eerie and captivating atmosphere. As Joey navigates this ethereal realm in pursuit of Mary's salvation, 'Jovi and Lou' unfolds a tale that explores the profound intricacies of love, fate, and the unsettling powers that govern our existence. Prepare for a cinematic experience that lingers, leaving you spellbound by its supernatural mystique. It's funny. It's entertaining. Watch it!

Just like in old Greek mythology, where the gods mess about with us mere mortals in this dark comedy it's God (Jovi) and Lucifer (Lu) who play us. The plot is simple yet emotionally complex. It asks: Could you kill 3 potentially evil strangers to save the one you love? So, morality, love and faith are all put to the test by these 2 eternal puppeteers.

Watching Jovi and Lou was a breath of fresh air because it's original, risky, funny and very well put together. I wish big studios would work on projects like this. Both the direction and the acting are solid and really sell this wacky premise.

If you feel like watching a brave and fun indie, give this a go.
