Me You and Five Bucks

I was in love the title first sight. It reminded me of Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place or Me myself and Irene. And I expected some clever comedy after this. Then I watch the trailer that promise some light indie Rom com. So made some digging and voila. I eagerly pushed the play button to start. But I'm never so wrong before my life. Basically it looks like it is a love project of director/writer/actor Jaime Zevallos, who called together his friends to make it just for Ed Wood's reasons. The only thing is good in this movie is Angela Sarafyan. She does her best to work with so less. Her very well kept secret brother, the editor is not so much. I saw like 3000 movies so far and this is the worst edited one. Don't watch this movie, if you don't know somebody from the cast personally. If you do, go for it.

Me, you and five bucks. A very intriguing title, that lets you follow the lives of a couple rather young and pretty handsome fellows through their lives in New York. A monologue that you might have heard in that movie from one of these pretty people looking into reflections on the surface of some pond in Central Park, would probably go something like this: "You know there are so many movies picturing the miserable lives of bummed out New Yorkers these days. All the trouble they have to deal with... like writers block - that's really harsh! but the testimony of sheer will is incredible. After ten years of writers block they just make a film about writers block. Isn't that great? Like really great!? But there is a lot of intriguing photography in the movie going on too. Like all the tricks, that you only can do with really good lenses, tight focus planes and stuff... yeah - but I don't know. And after one and a half hour, guess what, there is some really sweet ending. And if they didn't die, they are still bumped out in New York. This is just great, so great!"
