X's & O's (2007)

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Better Late Then Never

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

I saw X and O first UCSD at bear room. I was in to it. Rented it to see at home. Simon (Clayne Crawford) could rival Shia Labeouf. This actor has skills of skills. I don't vibe these type of movies in any fashion or form. This is different. A friend of a friend of friend got me to look at it at UCSD. It is a crazy world. Not to break a way from X and O as a movie. I LOVED THE POETRY. Trisa Edmonson and Shelly Royce had some thing to say worth damn saying. Good damn poetry grabs you on the shoulder. I was grabbed. Last but not least was how bleeping good it looked. It wasn't a cheeseball looking movie. Movie folks out there laying low keep your eye on Clayne Crawford.

The thing that struck me about this movie the most was how real the dialogue and landscape felt to me. I grew up in the Bay and all of the scenes really evoked a feeling of being in the bay. I felt like this movie tackled the angst of being a young person trying to figure out what love is amidst our unpredictable world, while at the same time trying to find our ways within it all. The cool thing is, Korde and his cast did this in a way that was humorous and not preachy at all. I laughed out loud many times and even had my eyes well up a bit at scenes that i related to my own life. The soundtrack is awesome. The actors did a great job! I really enjoyed this film. Funny, romantic, heartfelt, hip.X's and O'swatch this movie !

I was one of the few people who had the opportunity to watch a screening of this magnificent Romantic comedy called X's and O's and I can attest that it kept me entertained from the beginning to the end. Unlike most Romantic Comedies, X's and O's surpasses the stereotypical romance comedies that are shoved in our faces on a daily basis. This isn't a chick flick and it isn't a macho flick. X's and O's delivers something that most romantic comedies don't. It targets both sexes! So instead of being dragged to a chick flick like Sex In The City or to a macho flick such as Rambo, both male and female can sit down and enjoy a movie together that will not only entertain you but leave you with some good conversation afterward. You want the perfect movie to pop in the DVD player (in some cases Blu-Ray) and watch on your first date? X's and O's should be your first choice. Yes, X's and O's is a independent film however it's been directed, written, produced and edited as if it were a high budget film. Check out X's and O's if your willing to watch a good indie flick worthy to be called "Good"

Generally speaking, I thought this was a really enjoyable movie, it looked good, the cast was good and overall it was a very good job. I have two negative comments (that's good for me!) - first of all, there were moments in the film, particularly in the card-playing scene, where the songs were either too loud or not right for the scene and this detracted from the movie.The other thing was, the last scene, what was the point of that? I thought the ending should have been right where Lorenzo walks away, talking to Jane on the phone - the bit after seemed too contrived to give us some kind of sentimental ending, at least I think that's what it was, either way it was surplus to requirements.But for those two minor criticisms I would definitely have voted the movie an 8 or more.
