Love or Whatever

This film is an absolute hoot. It has some of the funniest bits ever done in film and it is a modern rendition of the classic screwball comedy of the Thirties like Bringing Up Baby with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn or My Girl Friday and other great classic comedies. The cast in this film is utterly inspired they are so perfect. The lead is like a puppy he is so adorable and the two hunks after him are so hot you almost want to cry. The sister is almost the best part of the film she is so incredibly lovable and funny. You just want to hug her forever. The photography, locations, music are all first rate making this film just plain fun, fun, fun.

Imagine every badly written, amateurishly acted movie you might ever see. This is that, and less. Some pretty actors badly used. It wants to be a romp, but it's just so full of hackneyed, bad writing I had to force myself to finish because I'd paid for it already. The material is so trite it's hard to tell if the actor can act. Two dimensional characters in a shallow story. Bad premise, poorly executed. I have 193 more words to go before they will accept the review, so I'll just finish by saying this is a badly made, waste of time and talent. It tries to be clever, but fails in every scene and frame.

This is a funny, not meant to be taken seriously serious film. Let the politically correct work that one out! I should hate the fact that it is a wish fulfillment film, complete with butch and passive Gays, and ditto for the delightful Lesbians, and that therapists are unfit because they seem shallow, but I don't. This is an exaggeration of the Gay world and it works. It is about as serious as ' Bringing Up Baby ' the Katherine Hepburn classic and just as funny. I even wrote some of the lines down they were so witty ( perhaps unprintable here ) and every shade of the Gay/Queer spectrum should bite the bullet if they have to and watch it. I saw it with French subtitles, which added to the fun. And the actor who played the so-called ( and offensively remarked upon on this site ) as a leering, lecherous old woman ( read the review ) gave a brilliant and moving performance. The sex is upfront and hilarious as well as being sexy and the acting throughout was spot on even down to the smallest roles. I loved the Gay twins in matching clothes looking for the same man to share, and the ventriloquist who did a pastiche of Norman Bates ( guess the film ) if any outraged reviewer does not know, and above all see beneath the L.A. surface. There is a mad reality in this film that I will watch many times when I am depressed, and I will not take it seriously seriously.

I want to start by saying I don't take movies too seriously. If you can get me to sit through one...congrats on the writing & execution. I had been dying to see this because one of my friends; local Dallas artist, Paco Estrada, has a song on the soundtrack. It's the beautiful medley when Corey & Pete hookup. I'll do anything support Paco. I think the story is cute, I like the actors & would recommend it to anybody. I had empathy for the main character & enjoyed the comedic relief of the sister. I also felt for the Pete. The first boyfriend, was a perfect antagonist. The clients are a little far fetched. I think it's to make you see how much worse things could be on the other side of the fence.

Love Or Whatever is completely unbelievable, unfunny and unromantic.

The main character is ugly and obnoxious, a whining, self-obsessed creep. We're supposed to believe that two West Hollywood gym bunnies are in love with him. We're supposed to believe that he's a licensed, practicing psychotherapist. We're supposed to laugh at a slobbering, leering, lecherous old woman and at a middle-aged woman who enjoys being attacked by male mountain lions.

We're supposed to be touched (and laugh too, maybe?) when WeHo Gym Bunny #2 (the pizza guy, the tall one with blue eyes, in case you have trouble telling them apart) wipes the snot dripping from the poor heartbroken hero's nose. We're supposed to be thrilled (and laugh too, maybe?) at the possibility that they may indeed be THE ONE for each other.

Only fans of the endless Eating Out series and similarly stupid gay comedies could like this movie. It was made by and for morons.
