Underrated


I really see IMDB rating so off the mark. If you're put off by the low rating and wonder if you should see the movie, see it. Take my word for it. It's 100% believable - the three lead characters did a great job, and so did the director/writer.

Like it or not, one thing for sure - you'll believe every single minute of it. And that's what makes a movie a great movie.

I absolutely agree. I don't get the rating here either.

The acting was absolutely great, the dialogue believable, and the characters really well-developed.

Considering myself a male bisexual, I really like the fact that it was very genuine, and also appreciated the fact that there was no overdrama. Usually movies dealing with sexuality, always tend to put very extreme scenarios and everything always ends up really bad or sad.

I think the movie did an excellent job portraying how mature, smart and open-minded people would deal with this sort of situation.

And I definitely could not help, but fall in love with Alvaro Cervantes. Wow.

Exactly - all three lead characters are good looking and smart, and I could fall in love with any of them on a different day, but especially Alvaro. That's another thing what I meant by believable - damn hard not to fall in love with him if you spend few days around him. Great casting.

Agreed, they were all great characters and I'm glad they ended it the way they did, and not with someone dying.

They did draw it out a little bit, but overall was a good film.

How can you not fall for Alvaro (Rai)? I'd share him too if that was the only way to stay with him haha.

Where can you view this if you are near the Los Angeles area?

It's being shown on On Demand now through the end of next month. It's under the shortened title of "Angel of Sex". Saw it last weekend.

A heart can be broken, but it still keeps a-beatin' just the same.

I think Richard 512-etc. from South Africa's review here on IMDB hit the nail on the head with what was wrong with this movie. It had a great lead up to a scene that never existed, while we were treated again and again to rather graphic straight sex. I wouldn't have minded the lack of a real gay sex scene so much if the film had also shied away from showing the male/female sex. And to not even follow Rai and Bruno into the other room for at least tentative kissing was a complete cop out.
I suppose this sounds completely shallow, but fair is fair. I get rather tired of the heteros trying to shove their straight agenda down my throat. ;)

That said, I did enjoy the performances -- the chemistry between the three leads was amazing -- and like everyone else, I fell heels over head for Rai.

Seemed overrated and unbelievable to me. The leads are all pretty and good actors... but the plot was unbearably stupid.

I had to suspend reality and just go with it to get through the movie. A movie like this could've worked if the characters were younger, but these characters all appeared to be approaching 30... at that point you're a little too old for the "free love" philosophy.

The characters were all very childlike and innocent despite appearing to be very much into adulthood. Anyone with a grain of sense would know at some point the novelty of bouncing back and forth between partners would wear off. Someone would end up the odd man or woman out.

This was merely a guilty pleasure of pretty people kissing and hugging. It was seriously nothing more than that. It couldn't be more light on story either.

The supporting characters were also extremely underdeveloped.

Honestly the movie deserves a lower rating. It's fine when you're bored and want to kill time but it was really quite pathetic.

I agree that this movie is definitely underrated. One of the best films I've seen in a very long time. Do yourself a favor and watch it! It's available on Netllix streaming.
"And I definitely could not help, but fall in love with Alvaro Cervantes. Wow." Second that!

reply

Sorry, they definitely were young. They were about 22, 25, and 27 when they made this movie. That's pretty young to me. And you never get too old for free love. I always was for it even into my 40's, and I would still be if I wasn't so old - 71 (in 2013) LOL. Though I must admit, if I did have someone and they wanted someone else I would at least want to watch them.

I love it... And going have viewing party for it it's a wonderful movie

The rating improved a lot since I posted this almost two years ago. It was 5.5 or something like that back then!

reply

It's still grossly underrated at 6.6 now. This movie was the best I've seen in the threesome/triangle category. I need a list with more movies like it.
