4 Nights in the Hamptons (2014) Reviews
new ways from old ideas,
well I would like to say for those who wish to see something with not just words, but underlining and layers of emotions. this movie is laid back and nicely well done, not perfect, but in emotions you don't want perfect. I think the movie shows how love and life and every thing one think something should be may just lead to whatever, and that we don't have to stay focused every moment of our lives. if you wanna do see something that is an enjoyable and thought provoking movie, that will let you and your partner maybe look at life in many a refreshed way. this is not a movie for those who are closed to being here and there and just themselves.
Not bad but could have been much better
The performances in the film were good, but the writing needed help. Many times I felt as I was watching actors do a reading from a rough script because the dialog was so unoriginal. Lots of clique in the writing and overall story keep this film from being good.. Unfortunately, the story lacks any surprise or reveal as everything is pretty telegraphed long in advanced. Another problem is in typical Hollywood fashion the film shows plenty of bodies of the women but the men are not shown in equal proportion. If you're going to do a film of sexual exploration, then give both the men and women equal time to explore and develop on screen. Brian (Michael Knowles) still seems unresolved at the end. He never seems to full embrace his feelings for Marc (Jilon VanOver). Kathleen Wise is very charming and comes though brilliantly on screen. Monique Zordan's role was too stereotyped to let her shine. Both Michael Knowles and Jilon VanOver are good and interesting to watch..
wasted potential
If this movie is any indication (I'd never seen or heard of him before), Michael Knowles is a pretty good actor and a competent director - but he's a TERRIBLE writer. Both the story and the dialog in this movie are so horrible that I was able to watch it ONLY because I wanted to see if it's really as bad as most online reviewers say it is. It is, but then it isn't. It has so many great assets, most notably the beautiful location and a surprisingly good cinematographer. The movie LOOKS fantastic. I'd never understood why people love the Hamptons, and now I do. What a wonderful place! And I really do think Knowles has some talent, but he needs to let somebody else do the writing. (And the casting - he's the only good actor here; the woman who plays his wife isn't terrible, but the other two are, especially the unbearable woman who plays Marc's brassy, trashy, braying, monster-boobed girlfriend - WHAT A HORROR!) Besides the persistently annoying story, bad casting, and idiotic, infuriating dialog, the abundance of full female nudity and complete lack of ANY male nudity are inexcusable in a movie with gay pretensions. Marc never even takes his shirt off, and wonderfully pale and dumpy and hairy David does it only once. I hated this movie, but I'm giving it two stars because (1) it shows how truly beautiful the Hamptons are, and (2) it makes me want to see Michael Knowles in something else.
Okay movie on sexuality and relationships
The film is all right. The acting is decent,and the dialogue could use some work. I like films that deals with sexuality, and this is one of them. The direction of the film was very good, but there was so much potential between the two male leads, but it was wasted on mediocre scenes. I felt there were history behind the guys, but the scenes with the guys felt a bit lackluster to fit the implied history. The scenes between the women, the husband/wife, the best friend/wife, and the husband/girlfriend were more fleshed out and interesting. I liked it but was also disappointed, if there is such an expression. At least it ends on a good note whereas other films in this category tend to end badly. I hope there is a sequel at least to actually finish up the story. I feel its kinda incomplete.
A Film About Adults, From An Adult Perspective, How Very Rare and Cutting Edge
You'd have to be very unhappy and hopelessly jaded to not enjoy this film, or perhaps just too young to understand anything about it. I was intrigued from beginning to end and completely mesmerized by the stunning cinematography, the beautifully naturalistic scripting and acting, as well as the absolute beauty of all four characters and actors. This is an intense study on the fragility of the human spirit, the bargaining and compromising of co-existence, and the depth and complexity of the constant reckoning of our lives we face daily... by the hour. There's a lot packed into this film and it gracefully dances on some vulnerabilities that most of us can't even admit to harboring. Very smart and concise without a grain of fluff. A good story is always about what isn't said. If you want to see a reflection of life that hammers out the truth and spoon-feeds you every bite, then watch an action film or Dirty Dancing. If you prefer films that allow you to explore what people are actually thinking, then let yourself go... and enjoy this. A nice, refreshing swim.
