There's something about a Bright Blue Gorilla film. I've seen them all, and they're so darned earnest and charming that you couldn't possibly care less about the shoestring budgets. Well, one day they'll work their way up to a shoestring budget.
GO WITH LE FLO is an exciting departure from the usual (if there's such a thing as the usual from this duo) in that it's the filmmakers' first foreign-language film -- with the exception, I believe, of the eggplant movie-within-a-movie in KARATE FILM CAFE, which doesn't really count. Roberta Bianchini, a BBG film regular, is always a welcome sight, but nearly everyone charms in this effort as well. There's an immediacy to the camera technique that lets you know the size of the budget behind it (watch the behind-the-scenes content to see the magic at work) but again -- it's all part of the intimate charm of a film that expends its energy in the right places in true BBG fashion.
I don't recommend this film for people who like watching CGI dinosaurs getting punched in the face by robots against a backdrop of exploding coastal cities, but heartily support viewing by fans of handcrafted romantic comedies. Get your popcorn, settle in and Go With Le Flo.
