Flogging Margaret (2008) Reviews
Comedy of a different colour
OK, so as always, I read the comments posted to try and get a feel for a movie. I really thought the director taking a defensive on a comment was really funny, especially with the typos and bad grammar. Like, chill out, people are allowed their opinions. That said, this movie is OK, not terrible, not great, just OK. The acting by a bunch of unknowns is not a problem, it was pretty realistic, although one character was borderline annoying because of his wishy-washy ways. There are a few laughs in it, but certainly this film doesn't deserve any high reviews. In my opinion, which is mine, if you really want to see this movie, go ahead and watch it, but if I could do it all over again, I would still watch it, I would just wait until it was a cheaper 7 day rental then pay new release price. To go into any detail about what was good or bad about this movie would have to include spoilers, so I will leave it at that.
Not the worst film. Really not the best.
Boy gets dumped by STUPID girl. Boy wallows. Boy meets GREAT girl. Stupid girl comes back. I'll leave out what happens, but this is the movie. All else the movie says it is, it never amounts to. The text is far from great, and so is the acting.Three main characters were irritatingly bad. They never step far from acting the same way, no matter what. They did not make real characters of themselves. The parts and this film needed that. But it is not fair to not give credit, when some of these actors were good. The Chainsaw guy was very funny, and very good at his role. The blonde girl playing Margaret was great. I haven't seen a multilayered straight up manipulative character in a while done that well. And my favorite actresses were the Germans. I wanted them more. Every scene they had, they were believable. Overall I think the writing failed these actors. Good idea, poorly executed. Money, some recasting, a rewrite, good director-this could of been really fun and different.
An excellent indie comedy
I just want to say that I think Flogging Margaret is one hell of a funny movie. My father and I saw it as a feature at a small film festival(Iris Film Fest) in Huntington, Pa in Sept. of 2006.The use of unknown actors was well done(and I know necessary) and the choice of the bartender was brilliant. Despite some other comments on the acting, I thought it was more than adequate to tell this hilarious tale. I recall you telling the story of having another actor in mind for that role, but she? asked if you needed a bartender and the rest was history. Talk about great luck! I am very glad that the movie was picked up for distribution, as I was afraid I could never obtain a copy. I will surely be getting at least one copy,or a few as gifts for my friends with good cinematic taste. Keep up the good work!!! P.S It must be Philly thing(being a N.E. Pennsylvania resident)but "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" seems to have a similar vibe(the bar scenes and general look of the show) to Flogging Margaret if it were allowed to go way out there with the material. Just a random comment. Ciao
Poor acting...
This so called movie is horrible! The actors cannot act. There is no plot. I believe they need to start from scratch and film again. I hope that they can correct the acting flaws in this movie. I would like to see the trailer after they shoot it again. Maybe there is hope for it. I am not out to hurt feelings but I believe high school kids can do a better job. The wardrobe could have been much better. Sorry, but this just did not do it for me. I normally enjoy the trailers from this site but... this one i cannot find entertaining. I hope they take criticism well because i believe they will get much much more from others in regards to this film.
A complete waste of time to say the least.
I was completely mislead by the comments on this film, mainly by someone saying they saw it at a film festival and loved every minute of it. Expecting this to be a nice run of the mill American pie style film, I was deeply disappointed. Firstly the camera work is awful, I don't think the director knows that cameras can move around scenes rather than stay still and having the actors move close up and far away of their own accord. Secondly the scenery! My god I've seen more furnishings in a bird's nest. The club was totally unconvincing with around 3 extras dancing in the back ground at any one time. The flats were bare and lacked personality. Thirdly the actors. Wow. The director obviously went for the typical "Reaper" character set up, a wimpy main character with a gruff "I don't give a f**k" character that takes pot shots at the main. Everything the main character said and did was a chore, so much so it made me wince. Overall the plot, the supposedly big revenge theme, lasted for about 30 seconds and lacked any real motivation. The characters acted irrationally and didn't seem to have any real relationship with anyone else. No character had any depth to them, they may as well have been cardboard cut outs walking past the static camera. A truly horrible piece, worse than a first year students 2 minute short for youtube. Advice to the director? Change your name and deny any association with the film that will probably sell one copy at a yard sale in Ohio.
