Jovi & Lou

Really enjoyed this indie comedy about navigating difficult moral decisions in a world replete with competing world views. Liked the main actor and actress who played the couple hit with unfair misfortune. In many ways, this seemed like a play put to the screen. Not only was this due to the set designs but also the acting style and dialogue had that stage-play feel to it.

This is the kind of film some will like and some will hate since it's about competing ideologies but also draws no hard and fast conclusions aside from human nature being largely egotistic and trivial.

I enjoyed this film largely because it's a window into the mind of a single creator rather than a commercial machine.

I will admit, I've always been a sucker for a kind of Faustian bargain. The immortals in this story, Jovi (God) and Lou (Satan) make their big, macro moves... while we little humans, just like the characters in this story, try to figure out how to move between the two deified poles. Sure, we all think we want to move towards the "good." But as this movie beautifully illustrates, life -- and stories -- are always more interesting when there's pull from both the good and the bad sides of life. The film "Jovi & Lou" has that push-pull tension, which creates some of the drama. But just to be clear, this movie is a lot of fun, too. Funny and fun! I was with the story from start to finish. I won't give away what happens, but if you check this movie out you're in for an interesting and entertaining ride!

I guess I'll write my first review since there's only one real one for this movie right now. It's ok. It's not a 3 and it's not a 7...somewhere between those limits.

The storyline is decently paced with just a little bit of drag. There are some good chuckles but no huge laughs. That said it wasn't painful to watch either.

It is an indy but looks very good. Yes you can catch the cameraman in the window (maybe that's Terry's homage to Kevin Smith?) but overall the look of the film is excellent.

That said, the acting is very uneven with Jovi and Lou being consistently good, Mary and Joey being mostly good but with a couple of stilted scenes, and Detective Harris...I don't know maybe she's married to the director?

The most annoying thing about the movie is the soundtrack (Director and writer Terry Spears would have been better served if he'd let somebody else do that job).

The ending was telegraphed but overall it was fun. For me that all adds up to a 6.

What a refreshing indie comedy! It's cute and edgy. The idea of God as a woman is not new but a gay black Jesus is not something I have seen before and the actor who plays the character pulls it off wonderfully. I watch a lot of indie movies and I gotta say this one has a lot going for it. The story is original and though provoking yet funny as hell. Several times I was laughing out loud. All the acting is believable, something that is often lacking in indie movies. Overall the production is of high quality. It's not one of those one room movies that seem to be so popular these days. It looks like they went to great lengths to find interesting locations and sceneries. I give it two thumbs up.

Look it has a decent look and story is OK I guess. The key problem is the acting which is quite amateurish, the sound editing which is adds comic effects poorly, and the direction which is average. But the main problem is the .acting, which is.not up to par. It is an indie production so some slack has to be given, But you would not want to.pay to see this..

Ive said all I need to to so the rest is just to make up the imdb word quota which is stupid considering how long I have been contributing. Anyway to summarise, not reccomended so watch on your own recognisence. Substandard movie acting and production.
