Just Say Love (2009)

I rather liked this - even though i know I shouldn't have. It is scripted to within an inch of it's life and the gloomily lit photography looks, much of the time, as though the entire thing has been shot on one camera and edited together using sellotape and lots of good will. All of that said, however, there is an obvious, quite natural and basic, dynamic between Guy and Doug and it does work well on a multi-set one stage environment. The two performances - particularly Jaeger's - are sensitive and occasionally funny. The ending is slightly predictable - despite efforts to tempt a stray cat with vegetarian tuna, but proves testament to the triumph of love over almost all human-made rules and constricts.
