It's a bad, bad sign when the main character in a movie made by a film student says that Star Wars is his favorite movie.
Reportedly made for less than $300, which is odd since the filmmaker seemed to be from a wealthy family. I assume these scenes were filmed in his parents' home, but it was about characters in their 20's who all lived in expensive new houses and they made it clear that they didn't live with their parents.
[Okay, I was wrong. According to the guy's blog, the house belonged to the parents of the girlfriend of an actor. They planned to use a more modest residence but that fell through. The filmmaker was out of film school and living hand to mouth. Even if he weren't, couldn't I just be happy for him?]
After five years, an English guy is finally going to tell his female friend his repressed English feelings for her. The girl drops by his mansion and tells him she's heading for a new job in Paris.
Depressed, he instantly strikes up a relationship with a young woman on a park bench.
They hang around. Talk a lot. They go for a walk in the country and later steal someone's boat. It made the English countryside look pretty good.
It's amazing what you can do for three hundred dollars.
I would have forgiven anything if the guy had lived in a "bedsit".
