Trust in Love

Reminded me of The Replacements record Don't Tell a Soul-at times...funny, emotional, familiar, dark, loud, chaotic, thought provoking and hopeful. If it sounds like a lot for one movie, it kinda was. They probably had enough story for three movies so it's worth watching a few times. I understand the film is semi autobiographical which would explain why the filmmaker was compelled to say so much at once. While the story line seems a little busy, it also feels honest and real.

Before this, Tim Hazelip, who plays the main characters brother, had never acted before. No drama club, no commercials, he wasn't even an extra. Contrast that with Eric Roberts who has made well over 700 movies. You end up with a lot of texture and a likable, capable cast.

The shots are pretty, the production appears sharp but not slick.

It was as good as or better than 60% of the big budget Hollywood films I've seen so it gets 7 stars.

Refreshing to come across a good family movie that highlights battles we go through daily. Great balance of emotions- such as humor, happiness, sadness, relief, and more. Did a great job at teaching real life lessons, but in a way that can be easily received by viewers. If you are anything like me and you love romantic dramas, especially those that explore the complexities of love, trust, and the challenges that arise when these elements are put to the test- this movie is for you. Overall, it brings together a talented cast to deliver a narrative that is both emotionally charged and relatable, making it a compelling watch.

"Trust in Love" is a poignant and heartwarming film that reminds us of the essential role that trust plays in forming, maintaining and nurturing relationships within a family structure.

The movie emphasizes the importance of forgiveness and second chances in the context of trust. The movie delves into the idea that trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship. Without trust, a relationship cannot thrive or grow. The rocky relationship between the parents and the complexity of growing teenagers living in a complex world while dad is juggling a struggling music career in a new administration of the entertainment business is a new learning curve for dad. What's more important his band or his family? Eric Roberts is great and Robby Krieger from The Doors was a pleasant surprise. The acting was great, shot mostly in Malibu Ca. The laughs are plentiful. Go watch it its a good one.

Just saw this film in an early screening in NYC. I really enjoyed the father/son relationship. Mickey knew he didn't have the experience that he could relate to his son but he resourcefully found someone who could identify personally. That is even better than trying to do it himself, in my opinion. The characters are really likeable - even the ones doing things that are wrong. The peek into the music business is pretty realistic too - especially the young people on their cel phones in the studio. The acting wasn't overdone - it was just right. Not a lot of names I knew, but I'm sure we will hear more from all of them in the future.

Way more laughs than I expected. Great story of a family struggling with real issues including a son coming out in high school. Eric Roberts is hilarious.

Lots of twists and turns and lots of memorable characters. Malibu life showcased as it is.

Inspiring ending with surprises of hope.

The dynamic between the mom and dad splitting up is way to close to home, but mistakes by both everywhere until some things happen to change the situation. The attorney interviews had me crying with laughter as I had that in a real life experience.

The surf dude is a superstar. Great casting with Jimi Petulla being a strong anchor to it all.

Loved the feeling I left the movie with.
