Love 'Em Or Leave 'Em Review

Directed by Toni English. Released by Vivid in 2004.

Amanda (played by Cheyenne Silver) is in love with Bucky (played by John Decker). After Bucky blows off a date night to celebrate a friends' birthday, Amanda imagines going on a game show called Love 'Em Or Leave 'Em to find someone who will love her and be more attentive. Be sure to stay tuned after the credits for the full story. Story Grade: B+.

This movie was mostly shot on video, though the mobile shoots seem to have been shot on film. The production could have benefited by being shot entirely on film. Medium Grade: B.

The TV show set was the worst, followed by the inauthentic nature of the dance club scene, which looked to have been shot in a house. The scenes with Evan Stone and Cheyenne Silver on Olvera Street in<b> downtown </font></b>Los Angeles were definitely the highlight of the production. Bonus points for including a real Pizza Hut box inside of a generic pizza delivery box. Set Design Grade: B+.

Chloe's sex scenes were by far the most intense, especially her scene with Lola. Cheyenne's scene with John Decker didn't seem genuine, as she seemed to be looking out the window during sex rather than being focused on the person she was supposed to love. Condoms were used in all scenes. (Condom use has no bearing on the grade.) Sex Performances Grade: A-.

Acting was generally good across the board, although the party scene was a bit weak in terms of acting capability. Ian Daniels briefly looked at the camera during that scene. Acting Grade: A-.

Wardrobe seemed appropriate for the characters and was visually appealing and well-fitting. Wardrobe Grade: A.

The lighting in the Alexandra Silk/Ian Daniels/Kyle Stone scene and the Chloe/John Decker scene was a bit harsh and too artificial-looking. The other scenes were well-lit. Lighting Grade: B.

The dialogue at the early part of the Chloe/Lola scene sounded somewhat garbled. Otherwise, the sound quality was good and the score seemed appropriate. Sound Grade: B+.

The movie was well-constructed and well-paced. The sex scenes seemed to be just the right length and didn't detract from the story. The bit following the credits was a nice touch. Directing Grade: A.

Artistic effort was clearly evident in this production; however, it would have been better had the entire movie been shot on film, since the difference in quality from the parts shot on video was painfully apparent. Artistic Merit Grade: A-.

OVERALL GRADE: B+.
