• Not a movie.

  Siel_O2006-01-08

  this movie doesn't deserve to be called a movie. it doesn't deserve a grade at all and certainly doesn't deserve your time or anyone's: the story is stupid, cliché, unrealistic, abrupt. the script is AWFUL. the actors CAN'T act. the video quality and colors are bad, the shots and frames aren't structured or composed in any way - visually looks worse than a television drama. the editing is a joke - they don't know when to cut and where to. the soundtrack is BAD (a pop song loops in background for 5 minutes while the characters have a "heart to heart" conversation). if all this isn't enough the movie is sexist, the characters are stupid and yet the script isn't "smart" enough to criticize them. ZERO out of 10, watch for torture.

• Horrible. I almost feel sorry for the people involved in this movie...

  What the hell was I thinking going to a movie like this? I had all the warning signs... I can't think of anything that went right in this movie - acting, directing, soundtrack, story, editing, photography, you just name it. To spare you and me the time, I'll just summarize all of the above in one word: GARBAGE!!!!! I started to feel sorry for these would-be actors, because I thought after a movie like this they would never get a job acting, but on second thought: half of them weren't actors to begin with, and the other half will probably find work in soap operas and other inferior TV genres. In conclusion - don't waste your money on this "thing".

• Don't spent 1 Shekel on it.

  This movie was supposed to be a romantic story, yet it comes more as a comedy as the acting skills performed by Maya Buskila is so low the directory might have alternatively casted a Klingon Targ. Maya growls when she does not get what she wants (which is much like her singing) and Nir Levi performance is just as awful. No wonder this saga went on "Reretz Nehederet" as a parody. The movie is a parody by itself. Thumbs down all the way unless you want to laugh at how bad it is. By the time I casted my vote for this movie, only one person voted the highest score. Maya, I know it was you...

• AWFUL ISRAELI VERSION OF A STAR IS BORN

  After Streisand but before Gaga there was Maya Buskila in this god awful version of A Star is Born. The film is beyond low rent, and the acting is also amateurish and awful. I really wanted to like this film but the only thing I like is the on location stuff. It's hard to believe movies this bad actually get made, but I guess they do.

• Maya's ego trip

  Because Israeli movies are not readily available in this country, I only get to see a movie from that country long after the best before date. Since Days of Love is all about Maya Buskila and her album of the same name, it's doubtful if this movie ever was in the best or even in the good category. Some star vehicles can be pleasant watching but these are the exception to the genre. Nothing about this movie is exceptional unless one looks at the centre of attraction, Maya. Days of Love is probably 10% biographical. Maya Buskila was an obscurity before her discovery singing in a karaoke bar. She does come from a religious family and even obtained an army deferral on those grounds. Her religiousness somehow didn't prevent her from displaying, in this film, lots of leg and other jiggling female assets. To her credit, Maya Buskila eventually did some army service to make things right. Perhaps that's the lesson for everyone in this film. Maybe they should all get together again and try to make a film that's worth watching.
