A la recherche d'Eternity

This story was the same as other love stories but with a twist. A twist of date I guess you could say. The storyline was enjoyable and kept me watching instead of picking up my phone or pausing to go do something my mind remembered. I was completely into it from start to finish.

I'm a sucker for the cookie cutter Hallmark kinda love story but a lot of times will get distracted.

In this you see each person and know how things will come together but the cast make it fun while having chemistry that a lot of dramatic love stories love have.

I had to come into IMBD to check out the cast and see what else they are on.

The acting was as bad as any Reel One Entertainment I can remember. Most of the main characters were terrible, especially Harris and Stoddard. Add to that how distracting and annoying the "background" music was and this movie was hard to watch. Background music should not be noticeable. This was. The dialogue was fair.

The story was a typical Quest which throws the romantic leads together on their search, in this case, for Eternity which is who set up their blind date. The reason for the quest was unusual and stretched credulity that they would both put so much effort into it. Harris and Stoddard had zero chemistry or worse. The conflict was overplayed although there was something Ellen said that made me pause to consider her point of view. There is the typical lie of omission. She makes the comment that he is a lawyer, so he knows how to lie without technically lying. The usual "cute kid" wasn't that cute.

If the acting wasn't bad enough, the stereotypical antagonistic first meeting is overdone. He was horribly rude, and she started to return in kind. But his rudeness pointed to character traits that really shouldn't go away so easily. Their mutual antagonism lasted way too long.

I did not finish the movie. I got 40 minutes in, but the leads just kept bickering with each other. The lead male was irredeemably bad on their first date, and she wasn't exactly the most lovable person either.

Watching a couple be jerks to each other gets old very quickly. Maybe the last half of this movie is great, but the first half was so poor that I didn't even want to find out.

Also, the mystery storyline was odd. At one point I realized I had no idea what the leads were doing and why they cared. For two people who seemingly hated each other, I don't know why they were spending so much time together.

There are WAY better movies in this genre.

Feels like it was shot on an iPhone using only ambient light. Colour changes, shadows come and go.

The photography was OK but the lighting was careless.

Lead actress may have followed direction but she overacted as if her viewers were on Nickelodeon.

I suspect the director not the female lead since other characters also overused their facial expressions, especially with their eyes.

The Dash character may have been a bright spot and I predict a bright future if he says in the industry.

I can't tell if the abstract art was supposed to be quality or justifiably dismissed. But it didn't appear to be popular or accessible.

I struggled through this one. The acting was sub-par. The cinematography was horrible (felt like I was watching a home movie). The storyline was OK. However, I never could figure out why the friend with the boyfriend was thrown in there. It had NOTHING to do with the story. The actress playing the role was awful. Overacting - i wanted to slap that fake smile off her face. If I hadn't been in bed - before falling asleep - I probably would have turned it off . But it was so boring and bad - it was a good one to watch while relaxing before sleep. I've seen both if the leads in other movies - and they weren't this bad. I guess it has to do with what they were given to work with. SUCH IS THE CASE WITH MOST REEL ONE PRODUCTIONS ...
