What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Simple story here. A very pregnant woman decides to take her seriously debilitated and Alzheimer stricken mother to visit the mothers sister. She needs help moving the wheelchair confined mother into and out of the automobile. So she starts asking for help from friends and family. 'No' is heard all around, as usual everyone is too busy. The only relief the pregnant woman gets is from here GPS system named 'GOPAL' in the auto. The GOPAL has all the best lines in the movie. Finally her sister reluctantly decides to help with their disabled mother. Even upon arriving at the aunts house (the mothers sister) the pregnant woman discovers she has been lied to by her aunt. The aunt claimed she was injured and could not come to visit her disabled sister.This little indie movie is actually cute and funny to a point. The GOPAL voice is fun, her day is full of misdirection and tending to the stinky needs of the elderly mother. Then for some strange reason the director, Jenica Bergere, turns the story into sweet sentimental reunion between sisters, mother, and aunt. What started as a slightly off-color comedy ended with saccharine poured all over it.
I foolishly fell for the high IMDb rating without looking to see that there were only 12 raters, all of whom are without a doubt, people related to making this amateur mess. It is completely unoriginal. I don't even want to do it justice by explaining all of the borrowed story lines but I do have to mention that the cinematography is the worst I have ever seen and I judge a lot of really bad student films. I wish so much that I could get my $4.99 and 40 minutes back that I dedicated to this mess. It's like I paid $5 to watch an episode of an unscripted TV pilot written and directed by a third grade class.Most of the film is B-roll footage of various neighborhoods in Los Angeles County that served as very bad transitions between the poorly written and directed dialogue.
