Softwing
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

"The road to true love never did run smooth..." but nobody expected the path would be cobbled in baklava and good humor. This is a great film about the struggle to work past family assumptions in life and in love. Our group saw it at a recent film festival and it really struck a chord, especially for those who are caught between family/social expectations and our own thoughts on love, marriage and life in general. In the end, some of us like "Baklava" with walnuts and others like "Balawa" with pistachios... but we're all nuts. ;)Two thumbs up. No spoilers. Go see this one!

This film tells the story of a man of Greek heritage in Sydney, who is under much family pressure to get married with a Greek woman. He meets a charming Lebanese lawyer, and a cross cultural relationship ensues, much against both their family's wishes."Alex and Eve" is clichéd and predictable, but it works beautifully! I find them so cute and delightful together, and they just deserve each other. Their journey to be with one another is so funny that I enjoyed every minute of it! It tells a story of tolerance and acceptance, and it's so beautiful. The music and the dances are festive and cheery well, adding to the comedic atmosphere of the film. I really enjoyed it.

"Alex and Eve" is a movie that combines comedy and drama despite being labelled as a comedy.The movie does have touches of "Romeo and Juliet", "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and even "The Graduate" but this multicultural film is not a carbon copy of either of them.Some ethnic Australian movies can be very clichéd, dated and predictable but most of the generalisations featured here are applicable to real life. The characters in the film are similar to the type of people that someone would see in multicultural Australia today, not just 30-40 years ago.Some of the criticism from other reviews is that the scenes with the school kids seem fake or exaggerated but for anyone who has been around people of Lebanese descent, characters like these aren't completely made up.Despite the romance between Alex and Eve, the ethnic theme of this movie, especially the tension between the two families, means that this will never fit the "rom-com" or "chick flick" tag and different kinds of people can enjoy the wild swing in emotions in this movie.

Guys only watch this movie if you want to be disappointed, its the most cliché, cheesy and awkward film ever. The people who have wrote reviews on this film are obviously very delusional or I believe they have watched a completely different film and are confused don't mind them, Or worst case scenario they actually enjoyed this terrible recording on camera they call a film I don't know how to comment all I can say is I pity the critics as they have probably never seen a good film before. This movie made me feel stressed and feel sorry for the actors as they seem uneasy throughout the entire film. Plain and simple this movie was just bad due to the poor directing, bad actors and the film soundtrack being played from a cheap CD ROM. I'm sorry but that's truth and I really don't know what else to say, don't believe me go watch it and ENJOY !!!!.
