Review of Feast of Love (2007) by Dottie C — 09 Sep 2008

[color=Yellow][color=Black]I cried.

I laughed.

I screamed.

I decided to pop in [i]Feast of Love[/i] when I realized Morgan Freeman (Harry) is in it. One of my hands-down favorites, his 1935 birth year often gives me the chills when I start consuming my daily dosage of entertainment news.

I am indifferent towards Greg Kinnear (Bradley) and the rest of the cast are strangers to me so I thought to myself, if Freeman is in it then it can't be [i]that [/i]bad, right?You'll be glad to know that I was.

To summarize without giving too much away, this is a movie where a community suddenly finds their lives intertwined and related in ways they never thought possible with love as the ultimate theme underlying every word and action.

It takes unexpected turns and stops at certain parts a little too long or too short but in real life we all know, nothing is almost exactly the way we'd like it to be, especially when it comes to love.

So...

Is it sappy? Yes.

Is it corny? At times.

Is it worth watching? Absolutely.

One of my favorite lines is when Harry expressed his loathing at the events that have transpired to be a sign of an indifferent and uncaring God/Maker to which Bradley's reply turned my waterworks on faster that dipping my head in a running blender full of Jalapeno peppers.

I will you will enjoy this too.

P/S: Watch out for Toby Hemingway (Oscar) and Alea Davalos' (Chloe) wonderful performances.
