Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
rogerb-391-111246 It's time for jungle fever when attractive white executive Jennifer (Melissa Odom in film debut) finds herself beguiled with her lawnmower man Michael (Jordan Spradley) who happens to be African-American.It was mutual attraction. Plenty of sensual day-dreams, flirtatious encounters and double entendre by both parties. Starts off on the usual racially induced reasons for white-woman-black-male sexual tension but soon takes the rom-com approach to show the realities of interracial relationships. There are no grey areas when issues and differences are literally black and white.Very low budget indie productions shot in Fort Worth, Texas with sole video camera fails to register on any levels. The stupid ending just makes it worse. Except for Odom, the rest of the cast are walking clichés. Spradley bears a striking resemblance to Martin Lawrence in looks and mannerism.
Chris Fagg Shot completely on video, it has the air of a cheap and tawdry exploitation flick - and that's what it is, a soft-soft-porn fantasy of a powerful white women falling for a jobless black man who still lives at home with his mother.The opening scene is gratuitous and repulsive, the female lead decrying her lack of sex while marveling at the amount of intimate toys she has collected, her monologue felt like it was stolen from the trash-bin of 'Sex and the City'. And this same stilted dialogue continues throughout the rest of the film when she's talking with her white girlfriends, who immediately bring up the stereotype of black men having large penises, and go on to say that nothing else really matters.As for the male lead, his conversations with his peers are equally racist, with a large dose of sexism thrown in to boot, and nothing is said to rectify these assumptions throughout the whole film, except on the most perfunctory level.I'm going to end this review right here because this film is a piece of garbage, and I don't want to waste any more time on it.
msday91 Spoilers!!!I watched this movie one evening with my friends and I loved it. The female main character gets the hots for her lawn boy. White female meets black male and you know the rest! Note: It is important that you watch the first part of the movie very carefully. Surprise! If you miss the beginning, you've missed the boat. You drowned!!! The main characters were very talented. The minor characters surprised me with their exceptional acting abilities. I can see this independent movie is going to go far! Good luck to the cast and crew of The Lawn Boy! This was a phenomenal movie. It definitely is a must see! Purchase your copy NOW!!!
NEWYORK75 My wife loves rom-coms and I don't really, but she talked me into seeing this film and I was happy she did.The film starts off pretty normal but picks up and you find yourself in love with the characters and laughing and crying at what they go through. I have some friends that are married and inter-racial - they still get comments and looked at weird. Love is Love and Love is blind, this film will hopefully make everyone see that and Love is blind.But again, very good film and must see rom-com - acting, directing, everything was spot on - great job.Also, I saw Bitter/Sweet - another nice rom-com.
