      christopher l This flick wants to be funny, but the angst and flashbacks tend to confuse more than entertain. However, Sarah Carter as Zelda smoulders something fierce! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Hard to really care about anyone in this movie, they're all unlikable. Not that it matters because in the end there's not really anything to care about anyway. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I know encouragement helps your performance Craig Blackshear dated one girl most of his life, Zelda Sparks, and every time he tries to get rid of her, she sucks him right back in. She was a chronic liar and cheated on him regularly. Now that she is out of town, and they've both graduated, Craig thinks he is past Zelda and can move on in life with his new girlfriend. Just as things begin getting serious with Craig and his girlfriend years after high school, Zelda returns... "Keep standing or be a passenger the rest of your life." Jeff Glickman delivers Killing Zelda Sparks in his directorial debut. The storyline for this picture isn't overly original; however, the characters are interesting and well presented. The script is clever and there is a few comedic lines sprinkled here and there. The cast delivers solid performances and includes Sarah Carter, Vincent Kartheiser, and Geoffrey Arend. "I'd be praying my pecker doesn't fall off in the shower." This is one of those movies that you watch and catches you off guard. This was better than I anticipated by a long shot. I had never heard of this movie and decided to DVR it when I saw the poster while flicking through the channels. This movie has a combination of a clever script, great characters, and an entertaining plot and pace. This movie is an underrated gem that is worth your time. "You've had your head shoved so far up your ass you see in beige." Grade: B- Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Started off good with plenty of potential but fell short as the story became more and more unrealistic. Vincent Kartheiser was terrible in this film, I found that he really did not fit the character that he was supposed to be playing and his acting seemed a little forced. This movie seemed to want to have that crazy twist ending but it never really came to fruition the way it probably was intended to. Geoffrey Arend was fabulous in this film but as a director he needs improvement, although his choice of music throughout the film was fabulous. The fact that it was filmed in Sudbury was really cool though. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Amusing Indie film based on a little known play. Zelda Sparks is that uber-sexy girl in high school who seems to be surrounded by trouble. Very much a character driven drama, it's amusing, but ultimately fairly forgettable. The cast of relatively unknown actors do a fine job, but it's the Tarantinoesque style of jumping back and forth in times that ultimately gets annoying. Still worth a look for something different. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Really jumpy. But still mildly interesting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
