    Ken saves Barbie

    Barbie is sad. Ken is sad. Together they are happy, and Ken

    teaches Barbie to love life.

    The pretentious script, constantly sounding like it's imparting

    pop-psychology wisdom is made doubly silly when it comes out in

    monologues from such incompetent actors, who can't even be

    convincing in the less-demanding, non-verbal, gratuitous sex

    scenes.

    Insipid, sappy, and shallow, Warm Summer Rain can't hold a

    candle to Ordinary People, to which it had been favorably

    compared. The themes are also completely different, with the

    exception of the theme of suicide.

    Avoid at all costs. 2/10

    a truely ethereal movie

    rented this awhile ago-very ethereal movie, atmospheric, movie is dreamlike all through. If you appreciate these types of movies you will like this-even the title has that dreamlike feel.I'd have to see it again to give it a rating, but remember it as atmospheric, different and disturbing. A good movie for summery rainy day.

    Precursor to American Beauty...

    I disagree that this movie is strictly a gratuitous sex film. I think it has a lot in common with American Beauty, in that it addresses how we choose to live our lives. In this case, they choose to have sex a lot, but that is not the point. The point is to deny the typical societal roles, and to live life however you want. The film has a lot of funny scenes, good dialogue, and a lot of David Lynch-style bizarre characters. Next to American Beauty, it is one of my favorite films. It is definitely a low-budget, intellectual, art-film, but worth watching if you enjoy intelligent filmmaking with a bit of humor.

    artsy erotic journey

    Depressed Kate (Kelly Lynch) fails in her suicide attempt. She is brought into the hospital. After some visitors, she walks off wearing only her hospital gown and an overcoat. She takes a random bus and gets off in the middle of the desert. She finds a kitty and then finds a bar. It's a meandering drunken sexual journey. She wakes up next to the well-dressed stranger (Barry Tubb).

    If you like Kelly Lynch drunk, troubled, and naked, this movie is for you. That is what you get and there is plenty of it. It's an erotic romance that leans more towards the art-house side. I'm not in love with this couple but I don't hate them either. It's an artsy erotic dysfunctional journey. Her bandaged wrists are the most striking part. Suddenly, there's a baby. Of course, they're naked a lot. This is one weird movie.

    Doesn't deserve neglect

    Although given short shrift by the few critics who watched it, this is a worthy effort, marked by good acting, direction, technicals, and an intelligent script. Although in a state of undress through much of the film, Kelly Lynch is given an opportunity to display the full panoply of her acting range as there are essentially only two actors. And, as so often with independent films, all involved have an opportunity to be truly creative. The desert setting enhanced the starkness of the extreme emotions to which the viewer is exposed.
