Jovi & Lou

What a refreshing indie comedy! It's cute and edgy. The idea of God as a woman is not new but a gay black Jesus is not something I have seen before and the actor who plays the character pulls it off wonderfully. I watch a lot of indie movies and I gotta say this one has a lot going for it. The story is original and though provoking yet funny as hell. Several times I was laughing out loud. All the acting is believable, something that is often lacking in indie movies. Overall the production is of high quality. It's not one of those one room movies that seem to be so popular these days. It looks like they went to great lengths to find interesting locations and sceneries. I give it two thumbs up.

You get this movie.

Our main character is on a mission from God (and/or maybe someone else) to save his dying wife's life by carrying out some unsavory tasks, but that's just the setup, this is a comedy after all. There's a ton of biblical humor with sound effects and musical cues to remind you to lighten up. I was impressed by the amount of unique locations the filmmakers managed to get. There are some fun exchanges between Jovi and Lou which hint at the vast amount of history these two have together, like 6000 years or so. Jesus was a highlight every time he came back. ;-P.

Don't miss out on this one.

Look it has a decent look and story is OK I guess. The key problem is the acting which is quite amateurish, the sound editing which is adds comic effects poorly, and the direction which is average. But the main problem is the .acting, which is.not up to par. It is an indie production so some slack has to be given, But you would not want to.pay to see this..

Ive said all I need to to so the rest is just to make up the imdb word quota which is stupid considering how long I have been contributing. Anyway to summarise, not reccomended so watch on your own recognisence. Substandard movie acting and production.

I will admit, I've always been a sucker for a kind of Faustian bargain. The immortals in this story, Jovi (God) and Lou (Satan) make their big, macro moves... while we little humans, just like the characters in this story, try to figure out how to move between the two deified poles. Sure, we all think we want to move towards the "good." But as this movie beautifully illustrates, life -- and stories -- are always more interesting when there's pull from both the good and the bad sides of life. The film "Jovi & Lou" has that push-pull tension, which creates some of the drama. But just to be clear, this movie is a lot of fun, too. Funny and fun! I was with the story from start to finish. I won't give away what happens, but if you check this movie out you're in for an interesting and entertaining ride!

Part The Seventh Seal, part Miracle Workers, and part Book of Jo (but a hell of a lot funnier,) this is a fast and funny indie comedy with a lot of charm and quirk to it. Definitely worth watching if you're looking for something fun and off the beaten path!

Victoria Strange offers a stand-out performance here, and. Trevor Van Uden is clearly having a lot of as her counterpart. The back and forth between God and Satan here adds a refreshing twist to a story we're all familiar with.

And at only 77 minutes, the film doesn't overstay its welcome, which is a refreshing change of pace in an era of long movies! Definitely worth a watch!
