This flick deserves an Academy Award
magicmojoman15 December 2020
For best supporting role for a sex doll. She did not get the credit she deserved in this masterpiece of nuttiness. Watch it once and forget about it. There has been other movies with similar stories. If you can watch this for free then what have you got to lose. It could be worse like that Blair Witch Project shxt.. ...

Well at least I didn't pay for it
burgerman933 August 2023
The idea was there, but this is an incredibly bare and foolish attempt at filmmaking. Pretty much everyone (perhaps with exception to the protagonist's roommate) couldn't act to save their lives, and all the dialogue was monotonic and moronic. The editing was poor; this was ridden with errors.

I get that this guy's life sucks: his boss is a complete ass and his co-worker is his ex girlfriend's aggressive brother. But my question is why not just escape it all? The boss gives him a paid week vacation- perhaps use that time to travel and meet an actual woman instead of harping on his annoying ex.

It's like watching a Friday night improv group where everyone on stage is confused. Only 70 minutes were wasted so it's not a total loss.

Not bad
Jonnydaniels15 December 2020
This movie isn't really that bad I've seen worse kinda slow at beginning and ending was unexpected. Definitely popped for the ending. Some of the acting could be better but the main guy and the boss i can see in more movies to come.

I wouldn't listen to the nasty comments, watch it and judge for yourself. Nice work to the writer for a interesting story.

It's good BUT it has problems
hannette-9362626 January 2021
The movie is decent enough but it has SO many issues and problematic scenes. I like the acting from the actors who did Dave and Catherine. But the guy who played the new boyfriend was too monotone. It doesnt seem like he has acted before. There is also a scene that is very transphobic with a crossdressing hooker. As someone who is a part of the LGBT community, it was a bit uncalled for and insulting. Plus it had no relevance to the plot. You could have easily cut that scene and the movie would be the same. Also WHY does Dave get the doll? While the doll is important to the film, Dave has no reason to get it. He googles for the doll randomly with no real motivation. Maybe if the hooker or one of Dave's friends said something like "Dave, you suck at sex. Maybe you should practice with a love doll" or something, then there's a reason for him to look into it. this is a HUGE plot hole to the film. The movie needs to explain itself or viewers will be confused. Leaving out my criticism of the hooker scene and the plot hole out of it, the movie is still okay. It did have potential to be better but it seemed like so many short-cuts were made to make the film shorter. they should have done a lot more to it. think about it!

Well I liked it
moviemanPrime43215 December 2020
I found the movie randomly on Amazon Prime, and I thought it was going to be a comedy. But nope. It was actually a thriller. While the movie does have some poor edited parts, the story was very enjoyable to watch. Dave went through some good character development from an innocent hopeless romantic to a psycho killer. It's understandable, but not excusable. It's definitely a good idea for a movie, but it just needed a better editor. Also, the movie is only an hour long, so it's a quick watch. And for an hour long movie that randomly appeared on Amazon, I enjoyed it.

Good movie with an interesting story
ankitonur7 December 2020
I enjoyed this film. It made me laugh at times and there were a few moments where I thought Dave was a really psycho. Felt good and bad for him at certain moments. Good job by the supporting actors too.

Interesting film
nykaren15 December 2020
Love Dave takes dark humor to another level but also touches on some very real emotions. The actors play off each other nicely and the music feeds into the scenes seamlessly. What looks like an adult film actually turns into a tragic love story.

A Hidden Gem!
tazz-053185 December 2020
I began watching this movie with low expectations, but was blown away by the performances of the lead actors, as well as the writing. I'm a skeptic when it comes to indie films, but I thought that the scenework was strong, and highlighted the raw emotion of the actors throughout. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a departure from the typical, predictable plot of slasher/thriller flicks.

Better than expected!
cfkbwhtcjq5 December 2020
This movie had suspense and great acting! It was truly bizarre and I loved every minute of it. Susan Lento, who plays Catherine, gave an amazing performance! Looking forward to seeing more from this cast.

Love Dave was Refreshing
salardisi1 February 2021
Sometimes we get caught up in thinking a film needs to be flawless, we lose the reason the story's told in the first place . Love Dave is not perfect but for a film coming out of the COVID lockdown a story was told that covers what many people experience daily . That feeling that nothing is in your favor and love is such a mirage , you except it from anywhere . Congrats to Marcus Reyes and the rest of the cast for getting together and telling a story !
