The Souler Opposite

Rating:
Summary: this movie was pitifuly overlooked...
Review: I bought this DVD after reading excellent reviews over at imdb.com, and because it was the only way to see it (because it's only available in this format). THis was a wonderfully refreshing look at the realistic side of love and commitment. Janel Moloney gives a wonderful performance that is erily similar to the role she plays on The West Wing, despite the fact that this was made before she got the job on West Wing. Her performance on WW is what prompted me to get this, and it was well worth it. Christopher Meloni and Timothy Busfield (also from TWW) are wonderful as the love interest and his best friend, both of whom have their share of trouble with women. SO, see this movie, but be warned that it is rated R (as far as I could tell) because it goes a little farther with some aspects of relationships than other movies might. It's an independant film so it could get away with more. The DVD contains a full directors Commentary which is very entertaining. To recap: this is a great movie! If you like offbeat romances with a great deal of humor then this is your kind of movie.

Summary: you'll appreciate a mature look at romance
Review: I bought this, interested in seeing some of actor Christopher Meloni's indie work. He fit the character, Barry, quite well.

The story line is a romance between 2 adults whom you might not normally envision together. They have their faults, and they make the romance work nonetheless. Not being a big romance movie fan, I think I appreciated this story, as it was more realistic than sappy. Not everything goes perfect, and the characters aren't perfect, but neither is life.
