Die jungen Wilden - Eine sexy Komödie

Paul and Katie are an actor/screenwriter and actress couple who live in the Hollywood Hills while they try to catch a break in the movie business. When a predatory actor/producer offers Katie the lead role in his sado-masochistic sex film, she immediately starts agonizing about the project's dubious sexual content and the douche-bag's lecherous intent. Needless to say, Paul feels threatened, but he responds by increasing his weed-smoking and flirting with other women.

The two lead actors appear to possess some talent, but repeatedly over-act as they fight a losing battle with their own wooden writing and direction. The minor characters are mere caricatures, although Rosemarie Dewitt shines briefly as a pretentious acting coach in a minimal dialog cameo. The arc of the story hovers obstinately around the lowest common denominator, until it plummets down into the basement for the farcical conclusion. Like countless other US sex comedies, the film treats its main issues - sex and jealousy - with exceptional coyness. Since it lacks both laughs and drama, a more appropriate title would be: 'The Melodramatics: A Bore'.

Sorry but this flick never gets off the ground.

The main couple, Katie & Paul are not believable as a couple and Katie's willful innocents around the creepy Pablo movie director is just boring and simple minded. Plus Paul, the writer/stoner, is equally boring.

As I write this review I'm wondering what about this movie kept me watching it. The story is tissue paper thin and so transparent you can see whats coming next. There is no believable maturing to Katie & Paul even after all the self doubt each experiences.

The boat scene was interesting and well done - maybe that's it - I kept waiting for an equally well done scene --- don't hold your breath.

I'm in love! (did I just say that outloud??!!) LOL Well, I just think Kat Foster- the star of this little indie flick- is just about one of the dern cutest females on the planet. I remember her on TV's "Til Death", and a few other shows/movies since then.

In "The Dramatics: A Comedy", she plays a semi-known actress who gets a job on an erotic picture in Europe, and her boyfriend isn't so pleased about it. She starts a little something with the film's director- a well-known filmmaker, and her BF, who has been teaching an acting improv class, starts a thing with one of his students- and chaos ensues.

Overall, I'm on the fence for this film- like I said, Kat is adorable, and that actor playing her boyfriend was actually pretty amusing, but the film itself only had a few good moments here and there- mostly pretty droll. I'll say check it out if you're into quirky little indie flicks that are more character pieces..??- not a whole lot of substance..

Yes, Kat is absolutely compelling, But this film is more-it is comedy the works. From start to finish. It is just plain funny with some great inside jokes that any fan or would be actor would appreciate. Even the ending managed to be funny, compelling and poignant-at the same time. Something Saturday Night Live dreams of achieving but never quite does.

Scott Wright did a wonderful job on what was obviously a small budget. And Pablo Schreiber (brother of Leiv) puts together an hysterical character by channeling a cross between Matthew McConaughey and Russell Crowe.
