Review of My Last Five Girlfriends (2010) by Jovan J — 19 Feb 2011
From a indie film perspective, this is a very cool movie. Kinda funny, kinda quirky. I can see how this movie is trying to be a unique romantic comedy, but it's not great in any way, nor does it significantly rise above the genre it's trying to be an outsider in.
The main character is likable, however, there is no character development in either him or any other characters, so we don't truly get a sense of who anyone is or why they do what they do. A story is basically non-existent, but instead it's an episodic type thing with each gf getting their own few minutes to be featured, but a lot of info is given through narration, not even through dialogue or character action, which isn't good.
The visual metaphors and effects were nice and charming. Definitely don't see that in a romantic comedy very often, at least not done so well. In the end, a lot of nice tricks, but nothing very special.
