Review of Feast of Love (2007) by Sabchu M — 16 Aug 2008

Feast of Love 4 stars.

Contrived series of failed relationships that Greg Kinnear keeps "falling for" narrarated by Morgan Freeman who, after loosing his own son due to a drug overdose, asks himself if love is merely a biological reaction in order to procreate or if it is really "what makes the world go 'round." He also plays a self-appointed pshychologist for most of the other characters.

The redeeming qualities of this movie are a young and in love couple played by Toby Hemingway and Alexa Davalos. Their "true" love however, is overshadowed by those of Kinnear and Radha Mitchell, who jump from bed to bed as the two most confused people in this film.

The nudity is gratuitous and the plot simple but not totally predictable.

So, why do I give it 4 stars? I am a hopeless romantic and this film pulled my emotional heart strings! Sometimes films don't have to be perfect in order to make a statement that although most people in love take for granted, not everyone has experienced. Despite all our "baggage" we are still capable of love.
