First
official reviews of THE TROUBLE
WITH ROMANCE:
"THE TROUBLE WITH ROMANCE (Gene Rhee,
USA
, 88 min.)
An extraordinarily engaging, well-written and
creatively filmed romantic comedy comprised of four
stories set in hotel rooms on the same floor."
-The San Francisco Chronicle
"Rhee's feature
debut is in some ways a textbook for
how to make a great low-budget feature: Start with a
really good, tightly written script, hire some
terrific, trained, hungry actors and shoot it
economically on small interiors. For
an audience,
it's a winning combination."
-The San Francisco Chronicle
"(Roger Fan's)
intense crying jag while on the toilet
is a riot. It is to bathroom
crying jags what the
French Connection car chase is to car chases."
-The San Jose Metro
"Jennifer Siebel
is stunning... (her) performance in The
Trouble with Romance is highly watchable."
-The SFist
"Rhee is a
talented director, so we can only hope he
teams up again with Jen and her company."
-The SF Weekly
Story:
In one Los Angeles hotel, each room
hides a different trouble with romance. JACK and JILL can't get up the
hill because STEVE is blocking their way. PAUL and KAREN have been
married for 7 years and could use a little spice (aka RACHEL) in their
love life…well, maybe not. JIMMY is from Mars and STEPH is from Venus
and they’ve got commitment issues that span the solar system. And
NICOLE thought she knew what men wanted, and what she wanted, but
CHARLIE’s different…or is he not? Sometimes you get love advice from
all the right - and wrong - people; who’s to know who is who and which
is which?
