Roxie (2014) Reviews
For poor unwarned you . . . you're welcome . . .
First I checked the reviews. Wow . . . ALL good. So, then I watched the film. Well, clearly this first part is a joke, I thought. Some stylistic extreme used to set up a premise. But it kept on. With the same people and the same absolutely ATROCIOUS acting. And, lest we place the entire burden on those hapless people . . . though they do deserve a good portion 'cause they are AWFUL . . . the directing was also truly awful. Wait . . . what? . . . I checked the reviews again . . . did I miss something? Were the 'Bad' reviews somehow in some other place? Nope. None. So, back I went for long enough to appreciate fully the silliness of the writing. It's lack of depth, intelligence . . . for that matter: sense. I gave it about thirty minutes and then I got it. This is A BAD BAD movie. Oh, I thought, WHY DIDN'T ANYONE WARN ME? Oh well, off to another film tra la . . . but this crapper, 'Roxie,' this one kept nagging at me. I kept worrying about poor unwarned you, about to fall into the trap of NO WARNING, as had I. Sigh, I thought, I don't wanna write a review 'cause IMDb MAKES me write ten lines and all I have is one: 'THIS STINKS!' So, no, I'm not gonna bother, I decided and Off I went again to that other film tra la. STILL, you - poor unwarned you - pulled at me and I thought, oh ****, I can do it. I can come up with ten lines about what a waste of time this crapper is. AND, I think I have. Don't bother with 'Roxie,' it is unbelievably awful. You're welcome.
A movie about the the responsibilities of love and the destructiveness of acting on revisionist history.
This movie transports you into the lives of two business partners, both unhappy and each in their own respective rut, side-by-side. The two take advantage of their award for Marriage counseling to break bad on the streets of San Francisco, indulging in the memories and vices of the city. We see their friendship become strained by the action, one reveling in the freedom, the other adrift in a sea of his own loneliness. As the two men take traumatic hits to their psyche, it becomes clear that this playful excursion has left them both scarred by their relationships with prostitutes. One such prostitute, Roxie, has a penchant for taking sad men under her wing only to abandon them later once they become happy. The movie is strikingly shot. Actors David Usner, Joel Roth, Kelly Burk, and Sheryl Hartman excel in wiping the polish off the buddy movie trope and showing the sadness and depravity of drug-fueled revelry in adults.
Smart, funny, relevant film with believable, likable, relatable characters.
Roxie is a bold, independent, and unbridled exploration of some restless characters cajoling each other into increasingly sticky situations, often with hilarious results, and always with raw emotion bubbling to the surface. I literally laughed out loud more while watching this film than any in recent memory, which was partly do to the acting, and partly a result of situations that just devolve into really unexpected depths. This D.I.Y., micro-budget film displays a labor of love and devotion from those who made and starred in it. What a treat to watch such honest human portrayals on the screen. And there is nothing funnier than the scene by the fire pit. Not to spoil anything, but suffice it to say that it's just something we don't get to see in many (if any) films! In fact, I can't compare this to any other movie I've seen, as it strikes me as so unique. It succeeds in boldly going where other's dare not tread: the land, mind, and restless yearnings of these aging, balding, professional men; respected in their filed, and yet deplorably human when the public veneer is shed. And it must be said as well that the girls with whom they involve themselves are brilliant characters in their own right, who certainly elevate the work with their sultry performances. Bravo Roxie! Must be seen to be believed. Really special piece of film. Enjoy.
OK flick on old age crisis
Not such a good movie as the other reviews would have you believe. Not such a bad movie either. Two old farts - Dave & Joel - run a family/marriage therapy practice. Both Dave & Joel suffer broken marriage and dysfunctional family issues. A classic case of the therapist needing therapy. Dave is a successful writer on bringing romance back into a marriage and he and Joel are giving a presentation at a conference in San Francisco. While there they decide to use a call-girl service. Dave is an old hand at this but Joel is new and apprehensive about this game. Dave's call girl experience is a disaster while Joel's call girl experience fulfills his greatest fantasy. This is where Roxie comes into he story!!! If you care to know why the movie is titled "Roxie" give it a look.
ROXIE is a thought-provoking and relatable "coming of second-age" drama!
ROXIE is a thought-provoking and relatable "coming of second-age" drama! Like all great indie films, the lead characters in Roxie are seriously flawed which really makes you care about them and their journey. Yes, you may hate them a bit, but hopefully you'll feel bad for them. Either way, you will feel something because this film seriously goes there... It is very moving and insightful and the only other film I've seen do this is Alexander Payne's ABOUT SCHMIDT, so Roxie is in great company. To follow up, the acting is great, the production design is utilitarian but crisp and the photography is beautiful in a gritty and immediate way. Add to that a rich and unapologetic story and some nice twists and turns and... BRAVO you got a great movie!
