Jovi & Lou

Jovi and Lou is a hip, oddball flick that pits Satan against God. The plot centers around Satan's offer to cure a man's wounded wife, in exchange for him taking out three random folks.

The movie is a riot, packed with plenty of funny moments that will leave you in stitches. The screenplay is pure gold, seamlessly shifting gears from comedy to more supernatural scenes. It's no easy feat, but the writers hit the nail on the head. The movie dives deep into weighty themes like ethics, faith, and the nature of good versus evil.

The lead actors are dynamite, bringing their A-game to the table. Satan is one hell of a charmer, while God is the model of morality. Both characters leave an indelible impression on the viewer, a testament to the strength of the acting. The man caught in the middle of the infernal duo's game is also convincingly played, eliciting a real emotional connection with the audience.

The production values are top-notch, from the sharp cinematography to the vibrant soundtrack. Every aspect of the movie has been crafted to perfection, resulting in a polished, professional final product.

All in all, Jovi and Lou is an offbeat, sassy gem of a film that showcases the best of supernatural comedy. If you're looking for something that stands out from the pack, then this movie is a must-watch.

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.

You get this movie.

Our main character is on a mission from God (and/or maybe someone else) to save his dying wife's life by carrying out some unsavory tasks, but that's just the setup, this is a comedy after all. There's a ton of biblical humor with sound effects and musical cues to remind you to lighten up. I was impressed by the amount of unique locations the filmmakers managed to get. There are some fun exchanges between Jovi and Lou which hint at the vast amount of history these two have together, like 6000 years or so. Jesus was a highlight every time he came back. ;-P.

Don't miss out on this one.

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.

I will admit, I've always been a sucker for a kind of Faustian bargain. The immortals in this story, Jovi (God) and Lou (Satan) make their big, macro moves... while we little humans, just like the characters in this story, try to figure out how to move between the two deified poles. Sure, we all think we want to move towards the "good." But as this movie beautifully illustrates, life -- and stories -- are always more interesting when there's pull from both the good and the bad sides of life. The film "Jovi & Lou" has that push-pull tension, which creates some of the drama. But just to be clear, this movie is a lot of fun, too. Funny and fun! I was with the story from start to finish. I won't give away what happens, but if you check this movie out you're in for an interesting and entertaining ride!
