Cowboys and Angels (2000)

Weird, artsy, off-the-wall film

The cover of the movie and the title give a person the idea that this movie is about the country, old fashioned romance, etc. FAR FROM IT. I had to fast forward through parts of it -- it was just so strange, so lacking direction from scene to scene. Completely unbelievable plot. I guess I was expecting something that was more "normal" rather than so artsy...even the strange New Age music used in the film sets a bizarre mood. I guess every person is different and some would find deep, spiritual meaning from this show. I just consider it a waste of my money.
P.S. I am surprised this show got a PG rating - themes, etc. are more like PG-13 at least...NOT a family flick). July 15, 2008

Awful!

Quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. Horrendously bad writing, acting, producing....horrible on every level. COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. July 6, 2008

And the Greatest of These is Love

This is a wonderful film, but can be confusing (Starting with the title- the sole thing wrong with this movie is the idiotic title). I have watched it many times and and find more all of the time. In some ways, this is like a Scandinavian movie: The plot is in fact very dense and close nit- absolutely every part ties together- BUT it is not spelled out for you like some sort of formulaic romantic comedy. Instead, much is suggested and you have to use your imagination to fill in the additional details. If the details had been spoon fed to you then the movie would have had to be four hours long: This is only acceptable if you are watching War and Peace.

So, I will give you a hint or two: At the beginning of the film Danny is the best man at his sister's wedding. He is heartbroken as he was himself just left at the altar by a woman he was deeply in love with. Danny has high ideals, is in fact a very good man and truly believes in true love, but the result has been hurt and despair.

To God, this situation is NOT a disaster- It is an opportunity. Time to send in an angel or two....... Oh, and no this is NOt about how things are somehow specially arranged so as to keep Danny from becoming jaded. In fact he is in for some additional pain (literally) and heartache. One of the things Danny gets to learn is that he is NOT the center of the universe. But it turns out that this will also be okay.

This film goes far deeper into exploring the ideas and nature of love than 99 percent of the love stories out there. And the three main actors [Radha Mitchell [who is fast becoming one of my favorites], Adam Trese and Mia Kirschner) were all absolutely perfect in their roles.

I do not want to spoil your enjoyment or appreciation for this little gem. Rather, I want to suggest that you allow your imagination to work and help you enjoy the full story. If you do not participate in the story with your imagination then you will simply end up bewildered (as a least one of the reviewers on this site did- what a pity). May 3, 2008

Good idea, bad execution.

There is poor character development, bad acting and same cliche ideas. The main guy falls in love with one woman, then with another, while at the same time still pining after his ex fiance who dumped him at the altar. The 2nd woman he falls in love with has the same cliche mentality about romance and relationships (there is only 1 person in the world for everyone), but somehow the writters thought the audience will buy into that highschool mentality. I wasn't convinced with Danny being truely in love with Candice because he was just to eager to leave her for JoJo then suddenly he had a revelation that he is in love with Candice and not JoJo. Sounds like the man needs to be alone for a while to sort out his personal issues instead of throwing himself into relationships. May 2, 2008
