If you're the sort of person who drinks lame wine with your neighbors before you pick up your kids from public school that pretends to be private, then you might like this. Sorry, it's incredibly slow when it comes to plot development and even slower when it comes to revelation.
It's a good enough movie if you have absolutely nothing else going on in your life for the whole 78 minutes. I'm not one of those people married to a phone or tablet. I have three kids and three girlfriends, it took me over six hours to watch this boring mess.
The premise was OK. No, really, it's cute and unique. Delivery took forever. Result was like masturbating and giving up in favor of a nap.

Drama, family and romance are the genres given for this movie. I would add mystery to those. There was a story evolving during the course of the film, it was not great but it kept me watching. Unfortunately, it dissolved at the end into a pile of plaintive questions, but then, as if to redeem the movie, the happy ending...I think...I'm not sure how they got there.
The whole thing was a bit tentative. The acting was pretty good, Eric Roberts appeared briefly near the end, a cameo performance. If the story just had a transition of some sort between the climax at the peak of the action, to the happy scene at the end, it would have been OK but there was not..it did not..really explain how they got to that point. Or maybe it did and I missed it.
It was a novel situation, it could have been a good film but in my opinion that glitch at the end spoiled it.

Overall the movie had awesome production values and a cool main cast. The two leads click throughout in a movie that's good enough to engender curiosity. The theme was a uncommonly smart and insightful way to look at relationships while delivering the requisite torment and romantic heat.
If you're tired of the predictable plots of romantics like me, check out this unconventional romantic movie. In most romantic movies, the obstacles men and women face are usually just misunderstandings and personalities that seem incompatible at first. However, couples in unconventional romantic movies, like this, have to deal with all sorts of crazy problems.
Definitely worth a watch.

An engaging and intriguing movie, depicting the degeneration of family relationship in modern cities, which consume genuine love and compassion in humanity.
Four people find themselves in an asymmetric and awkward relationship in a huge and fancy house.
It is no secret that many beautiful houses hide horrible homes; many well- dressed bodies hold miserable souls. But what is the chance of complete metamorphosis?
In Starcrossed, actors match their characters and they play them flawlessly... But, I had difficulty to understand how those characters with complicated and volatile relationship let each other stay alone in pairs, for so long, and so many times... That should explain the reason for the deduction of one star :)
As for the second lost-star: the culprit was x-rated scenes, which I had to fast-forward. I wish, the author/director had taken the creative challenge to convey the intimate relationships with only subtle references, short scenes and innuendos.
I command the young author/director/co-producer Chase Mohseni (his name sounds like his parents have a very interesting story for his next movie) for his ambition and success in his first film. With such a start, I will not be surprised if I hear his name mentioned in an Oscar night within 19 years from an obnoxious host. Who knows, for writing the best script, for directing the best film, or for acting. He is a polymath and ambitious, and I am sure he will show us all.
