Jovi & Lou

Just like in old Greek mythology, where the gods mess about with us mere mortals in this dark comedy it's God (Jovi) and Lucifer (Lu) who play us. The plot is simple yet emotionally complex. It asks: Could you kill 3 potentially evil strangers to save the one you love? So, morality, love and faith are all put to the test by these 2 eternal puppeteers.

Watching Jovi and Lou was a breath of fresh air because it's original, risky, funny and very well put together. I wish big studios would work on projects like this. Both the direction and the acting are solid and really sell this wacky premise.

If you feel like watching a brave and fun indie, give this a go.

Really enjoyed this indie comedy about navigating difficult moral decisions in a world replete with competing world views. Liked the main actor and actress who played the couple hit with unfair misfortune. In many ways, this seemed like a play put to the screen. Not only was this due to the set designs but also the acting style and dialogue had that stage-play feel to it.

This is the kind of film some will like and some will hate since it's about competing ideologies but also draws no hard and fast conclusions aside from human nature being largely egotistic and trivial.

I enjoyed this film largely because it's a window into the mind of a single creator rather than a commercial machine.

In a haunting tale of love and sacrifice, 'Jovi and Lou' delves into the depths of the supernatural. Joey, devastated by his wife Mary's coma after a tragic car crash, takes a desperate plunge into a macabre bargain with the mysterious Lou. What ensues is a gripping journey into the otherworldly, where immortals Jovi and Lou manipulate human destinies as if playing an elaborate game. The film intricately weaves a narrative that blurs the lines between mortality and the supernatural, creating an eerie and captivating atmosphere. As Joey navigates this ethereal realm in pursuit of Mary's salvation, 'Jovi and Lou' unfolds a tale that explores the profound intricacies of love, fate, and the unsettling powers that govern our existence. Prepare for a cinematic experience that lingers, leaving you spellbound by its supernatural mystique. It's funny. It's entertaining. Watch it!

Jovi and Lou is a hip, oddball flick that pits Satan against God. The plot centers around Satan's offer to cure a man's wounded wife, in exchange for him taking out three random folks.

The movie is a riot, packed with plenty of funny moments that will leave you in stitches. The screenplay is pure gold, seamlessly shifting gears from comedy to more supernatural scenes. It's no easy feat, but the writers hit the nail on the head. The movie dives deep into weighty themes like ethics, faith, and the nature of good versus evil.

The lead actors are dynamite, bringing their A-game to the table. Satan is one hell of a charmer, while God is the model of morality. Both characters leave an indelible impression on the viewer, a testament to the strength of the acting. The man caught in the middle of the infernal duo's game is also convincingly played, eliciting a real emotional connection with the audience.

The production values are top-notch, from the sharp cinematography to the vibrant soundtrack. Every aspect of the movie has been crafted to perfection, resulting in a polished, professional final product.

All in all, Jovi and Lou is an offbeat, sassy gem of a film that showcases the best of supernatural comedy. If you're looking for something that stands out from the pack, then this movie is a must-watch.

I guess I'll write my first review since there's only one real one for this movie right now. It's ok. It's not a 3 and it's not a 7...somewhere between those limits.

The storyline is decently paced with just a little bit of drag. There are some good chuckles but no huge laughs. That said it wasn't painful to watch either.

It is an indy but looks very good. Yes you can catch the cameraman in the window (maybe that's Terry's homage to Kevin Smith?) but overall the look of the film is excellent.

That said, the acting is very uneven with Jovi and Lou being consistently good, Mary and Joey being mostly good but with a couple of stilted scenes, and Detective Harris...I don't know maybe she's married to the director?

The most annoying thing about the movie is the soundtrack (Director and writer Terry Spears would have been better served if he'd let somebody else do that job).

The ending was telegraphed but overall it was fun. For me that all adds up to a 6.
