CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Armand a comedy without many ambitions. nice, humanist, almost correct performance but not really inspired. a young man as axis of a world. new debate about social condition and all-powerful love, few drops of humor and scenes of talk. nothing credible but good occasion to waste the time. if it is a good /bad movie - only expectation has the answer. it is a light movie , picture of a feelings adventure, not spiced, not tasty, full of basic questions and remarkable for Snoop Dogg presence ( only for his fans ), few dogs and slice from a sex shop. Joseph Cross has a not very inspired central character ; the hope to create a naive, sensitive and fragile young man is not realistic. so, only another film with predictable end.

mattkratz This wasn't too bad a movie. It basically features the "boy meets girl and falls in love with her/vice versa" and "Romeo and Juliet" themes. In the movie, a boy (who is a nursing student) has to drop out of school and go to work as a doorman to support his family when his father dies and leaves them nothing in terms of will money or life insurance. There are rules at the job, and one of them is not to become involved with the guests at the hotel where he works. Of course, he meets and falls in love with one of the (gorgeous) girls who stays there. Unfortunately, she comes from a snobbish, wealthy family, and they sabotage him, them, and his job. After this and along the way, he learns about humility and nothing and no one is too good-or too bad-for another person. This was a decent movie, and I'm glad I rented it.** 1/2 out of ****

josephelderman First off, the trailer didn't convey what ultimately was produced for the final production. From the trailer, the movie seemed more goofy, perhaps even corny. And although there ultimately was in fact two scenes with this tonal issue, one with a too clichéd and stereotypical same sex couple (easy cheap jokes - dignity filmmakers, dignity) and another scene with two prostitutes and a very young kid (though believe it or not, this sequence was handled a little bit better), the overall feel to the film is an upscale romantic drama comedy. An independent film that has cross over potential, similar to 2002's "Roger Dodger". The film has strong cinematography, and is acted very well by the whole cast: Joseph Cross (very likable and charming), Sarah Roemer (strong presence and you care for her), Rachael Leigh Cook (fantastic support), Joe Pantoliano (always gives a committed performance), Mimi Rogers (made a snob totally believable), Jim Piddock (funny), Snoop Dogg! (played the reality very well) and Annette O'Toole (has a superb moment toward the end of the film). The production also has some cool alternative rock song tracks leaving you in a good mood. The only other nit picky criticism in my opinion is perhaps the repeat of too many shots establishing locations (though I love to see New York on film), and an unnecessary epilogue during the final credit sequence.But I think this simply told story has a sweet and realistic approach to an issue that one might think doesn't seem relevant in these times, but shows and reminds you that in fact - though this movie has a preferred ending - still retains it's importance in this day and age, giving the film a sympathetic struggle and a deeper conflict.Great job, I recommend it!

ichocolat A doorman is usually a person you often overlook, seldom took a second glance, and always thought that he is there because he is a dork who could not land a better job.But this film gives you a glimpse of what a doorman faces everyday, and to look at things in their perspective, gives you a whole new idea of this profession and how, as simple a job as can be, they have their own story to tell. Story that may not matter to others, but important nonetheless.This is a story of a middle class family, whose world fallen apart because the breadwinner of the family died of old age, and left them with no assets and full of debt. So, the lead cast has to be the breadwinner now, and he got a job as a doorman. He has to stop his study as a nurse for a while because he needs to take care of his family.That's where the story revolves. Of him, of his career, and the people around him. Of the tenants, and of his boss, and get this; Snoop Dogg! Overall, this film is as good as it gets; though at times it seems a little slow, but if it goes any faster it'll be as good as this. And I agreed that have you watched the trailer first, you'd have an idea about how the story goes. But there is more to that, and watching the whole film is not a bad idea after all.
