Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a man of Greek heritage in Sydney, who is under much family pressure to get married with a Greek woman. He meets a charming Lebanese lawyer, and a cross cultural relationship ensues, much against both their family's wishes."Alex and Eve" is clichéd and predictable, but it works beautifully! I find them so cute and delightful together, and they just deserve each other. Their journey to be with one another is so funny that I enjoyed every minute of it! It tells a story of tolerance and acceptance, and it's so beautiful. The music and the dances are festive and cheery well, adding to the comedic atmosphere of the film. I really enjoyed it.
christopherlesliebarrett Take time to allow this feature to develop it's characters and you will become enthusiastic about this happy tale of conflicting cultures in modern day Sydney Australia. Once you have done this you will find yourself rooting for the two main characters of this piece.The leads are very good in their portrayals of young first generation Australians from different religious backgrounds. Both have adjusted to their lives in modern Australian society whilst respecting their families cultures. This is at opposites to their families who may remain closer to the cultures of the 'old countries '. I say 'may' as their are a few surprises in this regard.Supporting cast are also very good. Their faces are well known to Australian viewers from their extensive portfolio's in many many local productions of the past decades.No one character steals this movie. No matter how large or small the character may be, each contributes to the overall success of this tale of 'Love conquers All in the End '.The camera makes good use of light and openness, confined and darkened spaces, to help create the prevailing mood at various times during the production.The director has brought out splendid performances from all characters.Watch this movie through and you will be left with a good feeling inside. In fact, you'll want to see it again. I thoroughly recommend this feature to all.
Vito Doria "Alex and Eve" is a movie that combines comedy and drama despite being labelled as a comedy.The movie does have touches of "Romeo and Juliet", "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and even "The Graduate" but this multicultural film is not a carbon copy of either of them.Some ethnic Australian movies can be very clichéd, dated and predictable but most of the generalisations featured here are applicable to real life. The characters in the film are similar to the type of people that someone would see in multicultural Australia today, not just 30-40 years ago.Some of the criticism from other reviews is that the scenes with the school kids seem fake or exaggerated but for anyone who has been around people of Lebanese descent, characters like these aren't completely made up.Despite the romance between Alex and Eve, the ethnic theme of this movie, especially the tension between the two families, means that this will never fit the "rom-com" or "chick flick" tag and different kinds of people can enjoy the wild swing in emotions in this movie.
shaby-75708 Guys only watch this movie if you want to be disappointed, its the most cliché, cheesy and awkward film ever. The people who have wrote reviews on this film are obviously very delusional or I believe they have watched a completely different film and are confused don't mind them, Or worst case scenario they actually enjoyed this terrible recording on camera they call a film I don't know how to comment all I can say is I pity the critics as they have probably never seen a good film before. This movie made me feel stressed and feel sorry for the actors as they seem uneasy throughout the entire film. Plain and simple this movie was just bad due to the poor directing, bad actors and the film soundtrack being played from a cheap CD ROM. I'm sorry but that's truth and I really don't know what else to say, don't believe me go watch it and ENJOY !!!!.
