Go with Le Flo

There's something about a Bright Blue Gorilla film. I've seen them all, and they're so darned earnest and charming that you couldn't possibly care less about the shoestring budgets. Well, one day they'll work their way up to a shoestring budget.

GO WITH LE FLO is an exciting departure from the usual (if there's such a thing as the usual from this duo) in that it's the filmmakers' first foreign-language film -- with the exception, I believe, of the eggplant movie-within-a-movie in KARATE FILM CAFE, which doesn't really count. Roberta Bianchini, a BBG film regular, is always a welcome sight, but nearly everyone charms in this effort as well. There's an immediacy to the camera technique that lets you know the size of the budget behind it (watch the behind-the-scenes content to see the magic at work) but again -- it's all part of the intimate charm of a film that expends its energy in the right places in true BBG fashion.

I don't recommend this film for people who like watching CGI dinosaurs getting punched in the face by robots against a backdrop of exploding coastal cities, but heartily support viewing by fans of handcrafted romantic comedies. Get your popcorn, settle in and Go With Le Flo.

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!

It doesn't happen often that you go to a theater to watch a movie and are being surprised. This is what happened when I watched 'Go With Le Flo' at the Downtown Independent Theater.

What I experienced for 80 minutes was not some fantasy world or exotic tale far from my own life but the lovely spirit of a contemporary filmmaker capturing the joy of everyday life: The fun we have with awkward moments, the hilarious entanglements and slapstick scenes that happen to us usually when nobody is around to record it for the world to see.

I came out of this movie with a light heart having encountered real people in a real world with real problems and it all makes sense. What's new about this romantic comedy? The unique way in which it was captured on screen, and the palpable joy of cast and film team working on real locations comes across in every frame.

'Go With Le Flo' is as delicate as a summer breeze in Berlin: if you don't open your heart, you'll miss it.

Set in a breezy Berlin, "Go with Le Flo" is a charming, romantic comedy about the pursuit of misguided love that leads the audience on a romp through smiles, laughter and good music.

On his search for a soul mate, our bemused food shop owner hero encounters delightful customers, residents and visitors to this buzzing international city, along with pratfalls, stuffed sausages and a rather slippery plate of sauerkraut.

I recommend this joyous, well acted film that hearkens back to a gentler time and is reminiscent of the wonderfully human Italian film "Bread and Chocolate". Do yourself a favor and "Go with Le Flo" to the German capital.

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
