Seriously , when I first saw this film I expected good things from it since Bradley Cooper was in it as well as a few lesser known actors . Instead I got a film that had to have had the worst acting I have ever seen in a film that spent more than 1,000 dollars to make . The storyline is so non existent that I was waiting for something interesting to happen until I had to fast forward just in hope that I could find an interesting part to watch but the acting just kept getting worse and worse and the editing was not much better . As for the music in this film , well honestly I have heard better in a cheap porn movie then in this piece of garbage . Save your money if you are thinking of renting it and even if you get to see it for free , believe me you will not make it all the way through to the end , that I promise you .

I can not agree more with "craning10" this film was a waste of my time and I do not recommend it to anyone. Craning10 said it all no story, bad acting ( very bad acting ), bad camera work, worst producing I've seen in a long time. Towards the 15min mark I started to fast forwards because I couldn't stand it any more; even the comedy was bad. Although I actually liked the music, I think they played a few blue classics and some nice vocals too. But other than those rare moments the film sucked. The plot should be the one girl that is cheating on 2 guys due to the lack of contact and the abandonment from her mother, but it just ends up making a big mess of an already messed up movie. Is like trying to put together a distorted mental image directly from someone's head without any guidelines, needless to say what you end up with is a big abstract mess, which in this case has some bad acted sex scenes and a half covered, semi-transparent, half a nipple slip from a supper hot actress.

From the sound technician to the female lead, this was by far the most unprofessional, poorly put together film ever put on video. Why on earth is it being tucked into RedBoxes and being treated as a new release? We see the name Bradley Cooper and think, "Ah what the heck, a little romantic fluff on a Sunday afternoon". WRONG!

While I think the female lead is a lovely girl, her acting was.... well, it just wasn't very good. Wooden describes her well. The carefree insouciance she is supposed to project falls completely flat.

Everything about this DVD was awful, and I still can't figure out why on earth I allowed it to play in it's entirety. I guess hope springs eternal, and I kept hoping it would suck less, but it never did. Awful, awful movie. I'll never get those two hours of my life back.

I got this movie since the cover looked good and I do enjoy Bradley Cooper. The child actors (especially the girl) are terrible. The cinematography is like a bad 80s made for TV picture and the quality of film changes from scene to scene. The sound is bad and in some scenes sounds like your in a room with a bad echo. The lighting is inconsistent and changes within a scene. I have no idea what the plot is. After an hour I had to turn it off, something I've rarely ever done. The acting done by the Cooper and the main actress was fine, they obviously know what they are doing, and it simply highlights when bad actors come in. Its just bad.

This film is so bad that I honestly thought maybe it was done poorly on purpose, like a "Blair Witch Project" kind of thing. I can hear the director saying, "Cut, it's just not bad enough yet". The cinematography, if you can even call it that, is reminiscent of an 80s B movie, but the lighting and the look change throughout. Some scenes look like a talk show, and some look like a Soap Opera. The audio is terrible. Most of the dialogue is production audio, and the few voice-overs that were done barely line up with the actors mouths. I rarely turn a movie off before the end, but I couldn't stomach another moment. I only watched the first 20 minutes. Oh, and the plot, you ask? I have no idea! If I could vote a negative number I would.

We couldn't even make it through the first 15 minutes of this pile of sophomoric dung. I've seen better acting and more compelling story lines in bad porn. Don't let the crooks that released this on video get another dollar from you simply because it has Bradley Cooper in it eight years before he got lucky and was cast in Hangover. Bradley cooper is a stiff, unskilled, dope in this movie. His acting is pathetic and yet still better than the others in the movie. This is simply something someone found lost on the floor amidst a pile of bad Pauly Shore movies for the last 9 years. Their greed coaxed them into releasing it on video with the hopes of suckering in a bunch of people to unknowingly fork over a couple bucks to taint their DVD players with this festering pus-filled boil of shame. I was hoodwinked. I hope you read this review before you're hoodwinked too.

My boyfriend and I did like Bradley Cooper in The Hangover and a couple of his other movies. We were choosing between this one and another movie (which has one of our favorite actors). Generally it takes us a while to warm up to new or somewhat new rising stars, and we normally stick to our favorite long-standing actors. This time we figured, well, since we were on vacation, why not "bending all the rules"? (And why not? Title fits the mood....)

We were very disappointed shortly after the movie began... with the acting, sound effect, and content/storyline, etc. My boyfriend fell asleep 15 minutes into the movie, and I couldn't watch any more after half an hour... I am quite generous when it comes to movie ratings; in addition, someone practically had to twist my arms for me to give up watching even a rather bad movie – hoping it'd get better... This one didn't pass my hoping! It bent it... and motivated me to write my first movie review! I am also hoping that others might take the more negative reviews into considerations before renting or buying it... It is quite a waste of time and money!

If you are an aspiring independent filmmaker, you must see this film. It will give you immense optimism when you see how low the bar must be to get a film into distribution. How they got Bradley Cooper to do this movie is beyond comprehension. The production quality of this film is abhorrent. The editing is amateurish, the fades ill-timed and misplaced. As to the sound, there is a scene where they tried to overdub the dialog and it looks like a Japanese Godzilla moment. There are moments when the audio is tinny and distant. And that is before you get to the essence itself. The protagonist character has no redeeming virtues. She is portrayed as a whiny, slutty, incessantly complaining, baggage-laden woman and it belies belief that the two male characters would have any reason to be infatuated with her. We simply do not care whether she redeems herself, and one is compelled to yell to Bradley Cooper to get out of there…both her bedroom and the movie. There is a particularly pretentious attempt at a montage that fails miserably…a crane shot above an empty art gallery where the protagonist is having her debut…the director shows the crowd filtering into the gallery..with interminable lingering on the small crowd, then dissolve to a small crowd, followed by a still small crowd, followed by…a still small crowd…as if they just couldn't get enough extras to sacrifice themselves on the altar of this embarrassingly misguided effort. The final assault comes in the form of the script. Most of the actors...Cooper excepted... look as if they are reciting lines off a cue card. The closing scene voice over is incomprehensible and leaves you shaking your head to remove the glaze from your eyes. To get this film sold to Liongate and into distribution, there had to be some very serious "Bending of the Rules"

Indescribably bad. Just don't bother. Redbox just started carrying this, so I thought I'd try it - Bradley Cooper, couldn't be all bad right? Wrong. Seriously, just awful. Wish I'd read these reviews before I rented it. Couldn't make it all the way through. Not sure what anyone involved with this movie was thinking:) Wish I could rate it a "0". The acting, the camera shots, everything was just a mess. It looks like it was filmed with a cell phone camcorder:) I was shocked to see it was from 2002 - would appear as though it was filmed before anyone knew what film was! I actually signed up for an IMDb account just to give this review because I'd hate for anyone else to mistakenly be subjected to this film.

I have to say that I really enjoyed this movie. It was filmed in the Tampa Bay area and the directors did a test run at one of the local theaters down town. I found myself wrapped up in the characters waiting on the edge for what would happen next. It's about a girl who is dating two guys at the same time. Both guys are completely different from each other and actually do know about each other. They swear they aren't jealous, but of course fights break out between the two which is quite funny. The underlying story is of the main character trying to find herself and get her photography into the public eye. I think that Bradley Cooper is phenomenal in this movie (his my favorite actor, so maybe I'm partial.) There are plenty of faces you will recognize. My problems with the movie and the reason I didn't give it a 10 is because there were some things lacking. I wanted to know more about the main character. We learn that she grew up around carnies, but I wanted to know what got her into photography, etc. All in all it is a great movie. I felt the character development was lacking a bit, but not enough to change my mind about seeing it again and hopefully someday buying it for my collection.

A few valid situations, plus the flashbacks (which were few), I made three attempts to watch it, hoping it was a good movie, but it wasn't just regular, it had potential, but it made it boring, I disliked it, two male scrotums for the which was not worth fighting, except for the vain beauty...

Unlike other reviewers, I did manage to make it all the way through. Barely. It was kind of like a porn, but without any porn. Believe me that was the only thing that kept me going until the end... waiting, hopeful for something redeeming. Bad story (NO story), terrible script, awful acting, sound and camera work as if they were recorded on someone's Handicam. Edits between scenes that are worse than home movies. If I were Bradley Cooper, I would seek to buy out the rights to this thing and have it forever locked away. How do such bad movies ever get made? Surely there are dozens or even hundreds of scripts out there that SHOULD be made.. and made at least half-well.

First of all, I wish I could honestly give this movie a 0! I love movies and a wide range of them and not usually picky about them and I can usually watch the whole thing even if it isn't all that great; however, this movie was not the case! For the first time in my life, I HAD to turn this movie off after 20 minutes cause it was driving my boyfriend and I crazy! We decided  to get this movie after seeing it featured in the new releases on red box. My boyfriend and I both like Bradley Cooper after seeing the hangover 1&2 and limitless, so we thought it should be a good movie. Well, come to find out the movie is indeed not a new release, being first released in 2002. Turned out to be the absolute worst movie I have ever seen in my 24 years of life!!!!! My god!!! My boyfriend and I could not even make it past 20 minutes and we tried to get interested in it but it is just impossible! The acting is horrible by every single actor, even Bradley Cooper!! The little girl's acting was absolutely worst. It was as if they were all reading off of cue cards or something. The music was horrible, sounding like a bad porn movie! The acting was about equivalent to a bad porn as well. The audio and lighting are horrible! There's not one good aspect from this movie! After watching twenty minutes of it, we both were completely lost as to what was happening in the movie and could not take one more second of it! Please do not waste your precious time out of your life to watch this movie!!! It's horrible!!! I believe the makers of this movie released it on DVD to make some money after Bradley's recent success in newer movies! Bradley has sure come a long way from this film! Don't even waste your time! You will regret it!

This independent film doesn't follow the usual Hollywood prescribed script with the neat and tidy happy ending for all. I think that's why I enjoyed it so much. It was unpredictable. The film follows a young woman and shows us some of the choices she makes - most of them heavily influenced by her upbringing. Rather than have the character of Kenna experience some cathartic change and start on a new path in life, the movie simply unravels the course that she in on and ultimately continues on. It may not be as polished as a block buster, but it has charm. Top acting and the filming was beautiful. The carny scenes interspersed throughout the film were entertaining all on their own - some great characters hidden in there.

How do you review a film you haven't watched? By saying, after a mere ten minutes, its obvious this film has a repulsive quality which negates any joys. In the first few minutes, a young man, Jeff (Bradley Cooper, before he hit it big) is playing jazz and R & B tunes on a VERY minor FM channel. What he plays is very fine. But, soon after, a young beautiful woman and man are making love, explicitly and talking about sex as well. After watching this scene, the film switches to an upscale restaurant, where Jeff and the young woman are employed. As they discuss a customer, its obvious that the lady, again, has been using sex to get what she wants. At that moment, off went the film. It was NOT for me, although I have watched films of an R rated nature. Perhaps even this small movie had some good points but, alas, its not worth the wait for better morals and happenings. My advice is just skip it. As I checked it out of a library, I feel certain the staff selected it for Cooper's inclusion, probably when re-released. What a tragedy, as there are certainly better, more tasteful flicks on the same subject, somewhere.

This is the first and quite possibly the last review I will ever write. I never felt so strongly compelled to save innocent viewers from wasting their money and precious time. I watched this film in its entirety ::hangs head in shame:: and truly cannot fathom how this movie ever got produced. The acting was awful. The writing was non-existent. The filmography was not even good enough to be described as amateurish. For the life of me, I cannot decide which was worse, the acting, writing, production or filmography. I can only assume that those who wrote a favorable review must have been on the production staff.

It had all the cheesiness of porn with none of the gratification. It only cost me $1.07 to rent it and I feel like I was robbed.

From now on I will be reading the reviews before I watch a movie. Just like many other viewers I was bamboozled into thinking this would be a good movie because it had Bradley Cooper in it. I was very, very wrong. This may be in fact the worst movie I have ever seen. It was just absolutely awful. The plot is absolutely horrible and never progresses. Colleen Porch plays Kenna and I'm not quite sure they informed her that she's an actress in this movie. Every single thing about her was just horrendous. No emotion or feelings, the overuse of lipgloss and constantly licking or touching her lips and every line is delivered the same way. The actress who played her younger self was even worse. The premise of this movie is that Kenna had a bad childhood and now has relationship issues, something that has to come up every ten seconds. She dates two guys in the movie who are completely obsessed with her and knows that she's dating the other guy. They both want to take it to the next level and apparently don't care she's seeing someone else since the relationships have gone on long enough for them to CELEBRATE AN ANNIVERSARY TOGETHER. So much for these "causal," relationships. Please save the hour and a half of your life and do not watch this movie or you'll regret it like I did.

If I could give it a zero I would. Only good thing is that Bradley Cooper looks hot. Poor acting. Poor sound crap script. Don't waste your time.

Pleasantly surprised! Just caught this Bradley Cooper Indie on V.O.D. and was impressed. Smart dialogue and nuanced, well rounded characters. If you are looking for Hollywood sheen and polish, you won't find it here. This film contains lots of laughs blended with poignancy and cool Carny flashbacks. Like most smaller films, it is not without it's flaws. But it definitely wins you over with Smart's and Cooper's ineffable charm. Take a look at this film. There is a laugh in it for everyone. Many scenes take place in beautiful Tampa Bay and the background is beautiful. Overall, a really excellent Independent film which deserves a look.

I rented this "on demand" and my wife and i thought it was a joke... a parody. It's actually sad, the sound is like a tin cup (I actually tried to adjust my sound at first), the acting is comical - it's so bad it's like nothing I've ever seen on film or TV, even shows on local cable channels. The plot is non-existent, confusing and unbelievable (if you can even figure out WTF is going on). The lighting is bad, the transitions are bad and there's probably more things screwed up but I'm not a film maker. There's a nightclub scene that has like 10 extras instead of the 40 they needed and is a joke. It's so low budget, I feel like someone picked my pocket... and for those that gave this a positive review, $%&^ you - you are part of the problem, this can't possibly be confused for anything but low budget crap.

I will not watch Bradley Cooper or Colleen porch again because they were in this piece of crap movie! I could not imagine ANYTHING worse than this movie and the acting was so pathetic,..... Ugh!!! I think watching a drunk puke would be far more entertaining. HOW IN THE WORLD DID THE IDIOTS WHO RELEASED THIS MOVIE GET ANY MONEY TO RELEASE IT??? PLUS WHO ARE THE IDIOTS THAT INVESTED IN THIS GARBAGE????? There truly needs to be a level BELOW AWFUL!!!!!!! This movie should be shown in acting classes as a movie of WHAT NOT TO EVER DO OR GET CAUGHT DEAD DOING! I remember this movie called death race with David Carradine, which WAS my worst movie of all time but this movie far exceeds that movie. In fact, in comparison to that movie, that movie would be on par for an Oscar. This movie doesn't even qualify for the raspberries! The director, producer, casting agents and everyone responsible should be given prison sentences for this crap!
