Mango Kiss 2004
4.5 Stars
Lou and Sass are performance art partners and best friends who have recently moved to San Francisco. Shy Lou’s life turns upside down when she confesses her passion for the outgoing Sass, and they change from roommates to lovers. The path to romantic bliss takes a wide detour, however, when they meet new friends with some rather frisky ideas.
The beginning – “This is a cautionary tail” told in a narrative by Lou, and it is cute how she explains their journey to San Francisco. Lou is a lot like every androgynous lesbian I have ever met. Self confident, adorable, and opinionated with the knowledge of living.
The Acting – Is believable and the chemistry is palpable. I am a firm believer that if the acting sucks in the movie, it doesn’t matter how good the story is, it will suck suck suck in my eyes. But I do believe that when the acting is on point it can make a moderately amusing story a brilliant masterpiece. This is most definitely the case with this movie, a moderately amusing story line is lifted to an excellent movie with the acting and chemistry.
Story line – I love how it pauses for Lou to explain the characters. It totally adds a different level of funness (yes I made that word up) that the story line wouldn’t have with out it. The casting is done very well Not just for the leads Lou and Sass but also for the supporting characters. I can see many of my friends in their faces. Which is important to make the story line believable. The story line is a little slow, not slow enough to make you go to sleep but slow enough to make you loose interest at moments. So I am taking away a half a star for the slowness. I also like the tattoo headers that lead you threw the story line. Very cool, they are obviously painted on tattoos, but they still look cool.
Sexy Scenes – Very Sexy, I do beleive that they were getting off groping each others breast SEXY. Then Lou starts talking about it and yummy well said. HOT
Non Monogamy Experiment – eeekkkkk. To each their own, but I seriously don’t identify with this, the mother said it all. “In theory its great, but in practice it gets kind of messy”
The make believe – these moments are cute but I really don’t get the point, although it might have something to do with the whole role playing that they are getting into with each other, moderately cute but a little infantile if you ask me. It kind of takes away from the sexyness of it all.
Cinematography – GREAT – a lot of times lesbian titles look like they were shot with a camcorder, because of this i like to note how good or bad the chromatography is, so that you can get an idea of how it looks.
The Ending - Loved it, it roled around so that I felt that it culminated so I can sleep at night, there is nothing worse than being left to wonder…… what the hell just happened.
As Far as a movie goes I really didn’t identify with the storyline or the characters at all, the whole Domination roleplay thing is not something that I have ever been interested in. But then i think to myself that I don’t have to have a paralleled to the story to find it entertaining. Like does every person find a parallel to Robo Cop, I certainly don’t, but I found it very entertaining. As I do with this movie. This isn’t a must see, but it is certainly a you should watch it if you get the opportunity.
CHEERS!!!!!
