Nowhere Girl (2014) Reviews

• Fun and surprising film

  My husband and I happened upon this film at The Idyllwild International Film Festival and were very glad we did. The performances are wonderful, the characters so funny and lovable. There was just a tiny bit of intimacy that was a little uncomfortable for me, and quite a bit of off-color humor that I must admit we laughed at right out loud (may not be suitable for younger ones). Sweet film, well done. Really enjoyed the writing, the subtle filming, nice score,and sweet nature of the relationships portrayed. We had an opportunity to chat with one of the producers after the film, and he was clearly having a grand time. We discovered afterward that the married couple in the film are actually... married. They had wonderful chemistry and a lovely arc as well. Jennifer Aspen was simply outstanding, hysterical.

• Light hearted study in the human condition

  Assembled with a top notch cast and crew, this movie was created with very little time or money. That being said, they created a wonderful story that is much better than a lot of the big budget films out there This is a feel good movie about the various stages of love, and how we handle them. It manages to portray all of this emotion (and humor) without being "schmoopie" - even the guys can have fun - and the characters are relatable and real. I would love to see this ensemble in another film or two, and am looking forward to more of the Directors work. Take the time and seek this film out - you will be glad you did!

• Good movie, Great Movie if you love San Francisco.

  This is a really brilliant production that revitalizes some aspects of comedy and scifi. From the brilliant transition from a slacker family values dramedy, to the dynamic usage of "imaginary friend" as a transformative narrative. A good deal of the cimemotograhy was very intimate and relatable at times, while other shots further along in the movie were very well crafted and composed. Being a San Francisco native I was confused at times by the stitching of locations, however beautiful they were. However such a nit-pick for such a great film. I have many more positives to grant this brilliant film, but in doing so would ruin some of the great bits towards the movies end. Great work people!

• Take a chance on this one, you won't be disappointed! Really enjoyable and fun flick for a wide audience.

  Overall I thought it was a very smart and witty film. The cast played really well against each other with some stand-out performances to lead the way from Josh Robert Thompson and Jennifer Aspen. Some great witty comic relief from Tyler's British friend too! Its really enjoyable to watch, unlike the typical 'low budget independent film' you often hear about. Also, the production value is outstanding compared to other low budget indies I have watched, it definitely looks like a bigger budget movie. I have recommended it to many friends, both guys and girls, as it definitely appeals to a wide audience. A nice alternate pick to the standard studio fare for either a stay-at-home date night or even with a just a few buddies.

• I wish that this movie was imaginary

  At first I thought that this film was the worst written movie I'd ever seen, then it dropped it's plot twist. I'd really hoped that everything up to that point had simply been tongue in cheek and was about to take off. The movie then continued to be the worst written film I'd ever seen. There's an idea here but it's execution is laughable. Except for the protagonist and his 'partner' all of the characters felt scripted and unrealistic. The jokes were awful and often verging on juvenile and the ending made absolutely no sense. I found myself smile only once at the African American real estate agent bit. Even the production was a mess. Scenes just faded in and out from each other at odd intervals. I have no idea how this has received a 6.5. The reviews must be padded otherwise I've a seriously grim view of humanity's taste in cinema. This movie got one thing right however - the redhead is everything I'd want out of a woman. Please go to film school and learn how to make a movie before trying again.
