Dry Spell

My friend, Travis Legge made this charming movie, 'Dry Spell'. It is quite witty with clever banter and funny dialog. It does, however have a serious story to it which is rare these days. It has an emotional depth to it that I found to be refreshing. The characters may say funny things, but at the heart of it, this is a story of emotional growth and character development not found in most independently made films.

I was pleasantly surprised to see some familiar faces in here. My friend Jared Degado was in a funny bit as an anonymous man. A friend of mine named, Heather Dorff showed up in a scene that had me literally laughing out loud. I'm still laughing just thinking about it! 'Dry Spell' is hilarious, but don't let that fool you. There is a real story there. A good one at that.

This movie is boring as hell. No soundtrack. Just plain dull. Had to turn it off after 15 minutes. It has no redeeming qualities. An amateur attempt at film making. The story is predictably thin and the jokes suitably unsophisticated. Falls down is in its flippant approach to an idea that doesn't have any traction beyond a TV skit. This fitfully plain but mostly dull misfire defines exactly where the line can be drawn between truly subversive humor and lazy cynicism. For a one joke movie Dry Spell pays a lot of attention to details.Lift the bonnet, unfortunately, and this movie's engine is too sputtering and feeble to get it anywhere.
