Search - Hollywood Je T'aime on DVD

Very over-hyped

"Four stars? Are you kidding me? This makes no sense until one notices that the few five-star ratings appear to have been made by the film's marketing department. The positive "reviews" have so clearly been taken from the film's promotional material. It's a good reminder of how easy it is to inflate an Amazon rating.

The film itself is fairly boring and simplistic. A gay Frenchman gets depressed with his life in Paris, so he decides to follow a lifelong dream and go to Hollywood--where he discovers (shocker!!) that life is just as depressing in California.

The movie's climactic, epiphanic line: "A sunny day isn't special when it happens every day."

Commence vomiting."

Meh

"Unfortunately, this movie is just plain boring and simplistic. Beyond all of its L.A. cliches, I do have one major issue with the movie. If you're going to have a tranny character, you could at least use an actual tranny....NOT a natural born female.

Also, it was quite obvious that the director/producers brought Chad Allen in as a recognizable name, but his role was deceptively small.....and pointless. Even then his acting was all over the place...from ultra butch when Jerome first meets him, to bitchy queen, to sensitive nelly, to zzzzzzzzzzz.

Watching this movie is like watching lesbians discuss fashion....painful."
