    Fun Film, Great Cast

    Advanced Chemistry is a fun comedy and a great vehicle for Samba Schutte, best known as Roach on Our Flag Means Death. Schutte played Allen, a biochemist who doesn't have much with the ladies, and so develops a drug that - with any luck - will remedy the situation.

    Excellent supporting cast, including Chauntte Wayans, as Allen's bestie. Marcia, Kieran Deol, as Allen's work colleague, Lisa, and Sarah Burns, playing Marcia's wife, Sarah.

    Written by Alec Moore and directed by Etana Jacobsen, Advanced Chemistry is the perfect film for a Rainey afternoon, when you just want to chill and have a relax.

    A Total Laugh-a-thon

    This movie had me laughing from beginning to end -- laughing out loud. The hapless hero, a well-intentioned young man, finds himself in progressively more catastrophic situations and needs to take ever more extreme measures to bail himself out. The foibles of modern relationships gets a good working over in the process. The screenplay snaps and pops, zipping along at a galloping pace, but always sharp and clever. The actors, all unknowns to me, are well cast and up to the task. The movie is a satirical take on research labs and modern love. I enjoyed this movie from beginning to end.

    Loved It!

    This is a very funny film. Cute characters, engaging story. I really enjoyed all of the mix-ups of love interest. It's A Midsummer Night's Dream for the modern age. Clever situations that create all kinds of mayhem. The situations are both classic and contemporary; I could definitely see young people I know getting involved in these roles. (There is a particularly funny bit involving a chicken man.) A very entertaining way to spend a couple of hours just relaxing and enjoying the unfolding action. The writing is particularly funny, and everyone makes the most of the setups. Highly recommended!

    Advanced Chemistry is a rare gem-a romantic drama that fuses intellect and heart, leaving audiences inspired and deeply moved.

    All in all this film was a delight to watch. I heard about this film on the festival circuit awhile ago and was so happy when it finally came out! As a huge fan of Our Flag Means Death, this movie was the perfect vehicle for Samba Schutte to play a leading man. I also loved the LGBTQ+ themes in the movie and the clever blend of heart and wit in the writing. The film was cast really well overall and the thing that was the most fun was the science-based set up for a rom-com. Beauty and brains merged into one whip-smart comedy with a ton of great comedic set ups. Kudos to the filmmakers for pulling this off. Rent it - you will not be disappointed!

    Uproarious Romantic Antics

    Advanced Chemistry a fun and often hilarious movie!

    The science-based premise is a clever set up for a romcom. Scientist Allen has invented a hormone injection that he hypothesizes can increase attraction and bonding, thus curing cheating. Everything starts out well, when the drug actually works to strengthen Allen's best friend Marcia's bond with her wife Sarah. As you might predict, things soon go awry. Accidental injections! Characters falling for the wrong people!

    I found myself laughing out loud at the unexpected turns of events, brilliant physical comedy, and witty dialogue. Highly recommended!
