Worth the long wait for the DVD April 20, 2007
1 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have been waiting for this DVD to be released for quite a long time, I am a huge fan of Josie Maran and seeing as this was her film debut, I simply had to see it as soon as it was available.
The only clue as to the contents of the movie was the trailer, available online from several sources more or less as soon as the film made it's film festival debut. Since that's all I had to go on, the movie I saw tonight was different in tone compared to what I expected based on the trailer.
The Mallory Effect is more than slightly darker in tone than I expected. There are some very funny bits, don't get me wrong but there were also moments where I couldn't find sympathy for any of the characters at all.
Charlie, the one that gets dumped by Mallory at the beginning of the film, crosses the line between lovelorn obsession and felonious behavior more than a few times. And his treatment of another young woman towards the end of the film was reprehensible.
The writing was good, even though it sorta seemed weak at some points, it was an interesting storyline, who can't relate to being dumped, after all? The acting for the most part was good. The important thing to remember is that this is a low budget movie, there will be some weak acting and dodgy camera work and poor lighting at times.
Josie Maran did well for her first film, she had to go through a range of emotions and was fairly convincing throughout.
Three stars for the film and an extra star for Josie. She rocks!
