Alex & Eve

Take time to allow this feature to develop it's characters and you will become enthusiastic about this happy tale of conflicting cultures in modern day Sydney Australia. Once you have done this you will find yourself rooting for the two main characters of this piece.

The leads are very good in their portrayals of young first generation Australians from different religious backgrounds. Both have adjusted to their lives in modern Australian society whilst respecting their families cultures. This is at opposites to their families who may remain closer to the cultures of the 'old countries '. I say 'may' as their are a few surprises in this regard.

Supporting cast are also very good. Their faces are well known to Australian viewers from their extensive portfolio's in many many local productions of the past decades.

No one character steals this movie. No matter how large or small the character may be, each contributes to the overall success of this tale of 'Love conquers All in the End '.

The camera makes good use of light and openness, confined and darkened spaces, to help create the prevailing mood at various times during the production.

The director has brought out splendid performances from all characters.

Watch this movie through and you will be left with a good feeling inside. In fact, you'll want to see it again. I thoroughly recommend this feature to all.

Its an entertaining movie for an afternoon at home, you get a fair bit of laughs, enjoy the multi cultural aspects, a good dose of romance, beautiful catchy songs and good chemistry between the 2 leads. Yes, you most probably have seen the plot before in many inter-racial/religion romance movies but this movie still delivers on an entertainment level.

This film tells the story of a man of Greek heritage in Sydney, who is under much family pressure to get married with a Greek woman. He meets a charming Lebanese lawyer, and a cross cultural relationship ensues, much against both their family's wishes.

"Alex and Eve" is clichéd and predictable, but it works beautifully! I find them so cute and delightful together, and they just deserve each other. Their journey to be with one another is so funny that I enjoyed every minute of it! It tells a story of tolerance and acceptance, and it's so beautiful. The music and the dances are festive and cheery well, adding to the comedic atmosphere of the film. I really enjoyed it.

Quite enjoyed it - nice characters, clichée, but very relatable.

The ones that gave bad reviews are fundamentlust, coz she should have married as her family whishes.

I thought this was a pretty good film. It is quite funny in parts, and heartwarming as well, and well, romantic.

The only people not liking it here seem to be fundamentalists who are an every decreasing minority within Islam. E.G. reviewer "mohamedgamal-07660", who my guess is not in Australia, Canada or the US. Most third generation Muslims do not marry other Muslims. ESPECIALLY educated women are least likely to marry another Muslim. A huge portion of second generation (children of immigrants) do not as well. I am tying to figure out if this upsets the reviewer and what business it is of his anyway? How dare he call it an "insult to Islam" as if he is the arbiter of what Islam is or is not.

If you know anything about the region where these people come from , with its may places, eg, Alexandria, Beirut, Istanbul, etc that for hundreds and hundreds of years had people living together and often intermarrying. These places only recently became mono-cultural, and that is artificial.
