Member Movie Reviews Alice H. (singlegalkansas) from TOPEKA, KS Reviewed on 1/5/2010... I found I loved this quirky take on love and realizing the one you love has always been there. Its not a big blockbuster/small indie but well worth catching. 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful.
Movie ReviewsHow to lose your interest.... Grady Harp | Los Angeles, CA United States | 09/15/2006 (3 out of 5 stars) "Jordan Hawley wrote and directed this dark 'comedy' about the current state of love/hate relationships in Los Angeles (or inability to create same) with about as much panache as yesterday's onion rings. The storyline has been used so many times that the tread is off the tires. LA ghostwriter Owen (Paul Schneider) is a 'nice guy' who sustains an inability to form a satisfactory love relationship. Exasperated with his life style he decides to become a cad: that must be what women (and men) want. He reverses his nice guy tactic and begins telling everyone he encounters just how he feels - and that is usually negative! The only person who doesn't but into his change is his roommate Allison (Poppy Montgomery) who is bisexual and therefore not wholly available. He decides to leave Los Angeles and move to the East Coast where a lucrative deal awaits him to write the memoirs of a famous man. At the last moment he meets one Val (Jennifer Westfeldt), an animal activist: the chemistry is there but each has a conflicting program. Owen is honest with her, a factor that does not chase her away, but both part ways to other parts of the world. Upon return to LA after a disappointing experience on the East Coast, tables turn and surprises arise. And the ending is a mixture of silly and unsatisfying. Movies like this are meant to entertain and some of the dialogue is clever albeit acerbic. It just that the idea of relationship examination under these terms is so worn out that the movie just doesn't spark any innovative thoughts. After about thirty minutes into the film this 'audience' lost interest. Grady Harp, September 06" It's all in here... Peter | UK | 01/22/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Jordan Hawley's `How to Lose Your Lover' is my kind of movie - all about brainy self-examination, funny, and full of twists. For me it's genuinely original - goodbyes are always about fake warm feelings, not burning bridges. Enjoy the psychosis, the antics, the irreverence and the decadence - but when it counts there is real heart in here, too. Setting this sort of thing in LA is something I've never seen. I want to call Hawley `West Coast Woody'. Has any movie celebrated the buildings and landmarks of LA in the same way? " Excellent. Andrew B. Parkinson | Winnetka, IL USA | 03/26/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I loved the movie. My wife, a friend and I watched it together and found ourselves laughing really hard. We also loved the relationships and character development and the great ending. A definite must for anyone who loves a good movie and loves to laugh!"
