Inside the Rain

Ben Glass (Aaron Fisher) has mental issues. He's threatened with expulsion from film school after a second incident. He decides to make a film to plea his case. He recruits model and sometimes porn actress Emma Taylor. He's under the care of psychiatrist Dr. Holloway (Rosie Perez). Out of work actor Monty Pennington (Eric Roberts) is eager to join the ragtag group.

I'm going to guess that there are elements of autobiography in this story from Aaron Fisher. He obviously wrote this with comedic tones. The problem is that Aaron is no comedian. He can't even deadpan this material. He has a dangerous anger in him that puts the movie on edge. He needs a real actor who is good at comedy to play the lead. If he needs to play the lead, the only tone available would be dark and dramatic. Even then, I'm not sure if he's lead actor material.

Story itself is ok but just how the dad mum and son appearance not fit at all. Cast someone with right looks is very important, I can't logicalize cus of it. Adopted son please mention.

There are 2 flashing red lights that should warn would-be watchers. The first is that Eric Roberts makes an appearance. The last good movie the man made was Runaway Train in 1985. He now makes an average of 2 flicks a month (flicks vs. films) proving that Quantity = NOT Quality. My guess is the majority of the budget went to his 1-minute appearance. The second warning sign is the number of awards this flick boasts on its web page. Research shows an inverse correlation of minor awards to actual quality/watch-ability. Acting as passable to poor; story was solidly poor; comedy was sorely lacking as was romance and any real drama. While I applaud the efforts of amateur flick-makers for their drive to get entertainment made, I also appreciate it when what they make is actually entertaining....

This movie is not for everyone. I think you have to appreciate knowing what it is like have a less than mentally stable life. This is a well done movie in my opinion. I appreciate the humour. Some may miss the point. Great acting! Love the ending! Fantastic soundtrack.

It was actually a fun watch. It moved nicely and the story was fun to watch. I think Aaron Fisher did a great job in writing/directing/acting. Rosie Perez played a great role. Maybe Eric Roberts wasn't needed in this movie and only put in for name recognition. I rated 5 out of 10 because it was watchable and put together well and I rate very low on movies.
