Audience Member Good ideas but a really lack in directing and actor's playing...Was it cause it's a low cost movie? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A funny oddball romantic comedy with a decided edge. Excellent performances from a fine ensemble, produced by the late Lorenda Starfelt and directed by her husband Brad Mays, from a spare and engaging screenplay by Michael Hemmingson. The story of a disconnected man (Will Beinbrink) who inherits a camping trailer painted like a watermelon, which acts as a magnet for the good, the bad, the weird and, ultimately the love of his life, wonderfully played by Kiersten Morgan. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member #What a bizarre little film! It is certainly not for the masses but as an avid flick goer this will slightly enlighten you. There are a couple of bad eggs in terms of actors (the step sister being one) but that aside a charming and quirky tale of the lead characters change of view on life. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Very nice contemporary piece. Showed me that movies these days don't all have to suck. It's an fresh comedy that manages to keep the feel of the movie light and entertaining, despite a darker back story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
