Some films touch you... Others molest you in your sleep.
I agree the movie has many brilliant moments!! Very well directed by Ameer!!!!
Rather enjoyed "Contadora is for Lovers". The cast worked very well together!!
This is a great film for anyone thinking of visiting Contadora Island off the gulf of Panama. It's one of those film where you wish you were there with the characters frolicking and sunbathing while treating yourself to a massage and Pina colada.
The budget for this film was clearly low, and, if the very clumsy travelogue scenes are any indication, was probably even lower than we might imagine (most of them are OK but there's this hilariously bad scene where the film stops dead so Tony Sago can force out a lengthy history lesson of Conatadora). I think even a low budget can be overcome by a strong enough script.
Definitely entertaining and worth watching. The acting was on the lean side, but all in all, the film did have its moments.
This absolutely horrible update of the rotten Daryl Hannah flick Summer Lovers is quite simply the worst film ever made. Yup, it's even worse than The Brown Bunny or The Room.
From one of the stars stumbling over his first line in the movie to the sophomoric script to the bad lighting and jerky camera movement, this film delivers a product that you will swear was made on a $23 budget. Even the parts that were intended to be provocative were immature in both script and execution.
Now and then we see early films by a well-trained and well-educated writer/director and enjoy the journey from amateur to professional status. Jorge Ameer has been actively and consistently making films since 2000 (with an earlier 1994 work) and it is therefore disappointing that he has not been able to garner financial backing to step beyond the low budget status that grounds his latest feature CANTADORA IS FOR LOVERS.
