Dinner and a Movie (2001) User Reviews

Inspired story of the trials and tribulations of film making vs. a personal LIFE and missed interactions (i.e. Love life, et al )

[editfilmr · 9/10 · 25 July 2002]

A wonderfully produced and directed film about inspired film making. In order to present your vision on the silver screen, are you willing to sacrifice MORE of your vision and values (to complete a commercial venture) in order to gain the next step in completing ur "pinnacle" film ? Do personal sacrifices really weigh in against reaching that vision "film" ?? These are just some of the conflicts and dichotomies wonderfully explored, and presented to the movie viewer as it enticingly unfolds before you. Truly an enchanting film that appeals both to the regular movie-goer and hits chords of those within the industry. A "fresh" and must-see film for our age. Well acted ... well plotted .... and attention holding. Kudos -----> Lisa Kors and crew !!!

Elegant and funny story about a 31 y.o. female director, dating, television and Solzhenitsyn

It's a nice performed and filmed, and creatively directed story about a girl, who has had intention to make some boring documentary about Solzhenitsyn, and forced by life to do a series about dating for television instead. It's also about "work or love" dilemma. Similar title, that comes to mind, if to talk about mood or spirit of the film is "When Harry Met Sally". Will wait for DVD with this film and next movies by Lisa Kors -- she knows how to do good movies.
