Jimmy and Judy

documentary styled journey of two misfits
I give this movie 3.5 stars, I really wish they had a fuller spectrum for rating. I thought this movie was great at filming the younger generation from their point of view but the movie overall fell short for me. If you're a younger viewer (under 25) or feel ignored by society, you will probably overlook any shortcomings and love it. From the first frame of the movie until the very last frame, the viewer watches the story unfold all through the eyes of a first point of view movie lens. We don't see Jimmy right away, we just hear him narrate his life. We know that he hates his supercilious parents with their outward conformity to society while being slaves to fetishes behind closed doors. We watch through a crack in their door as they role play. This scene, along with some others, seemed a little contrived which helped form my rating. We watch over and over again as Jimmy either acts out his anger at society or provides monologues on his views and some editing here would have...

The Ultimate Movie Review! - http://tss5078.blogspot.com - @tss5078
Since gaining popularity as a young John Connor in Terminator 2, Edward Furlong has done a whole string of B-movies. Jimmy & Judy is one of the lesser known direct-to-video films he's done and with good cause. From the cover this film looks like some modern version of Bonnie & Clyde and it's from the writers behind Natural Born Killers, so I was expecting good things. My hopes for a good film were immediately dashed when I found out that this low budget film was shot by the actors holding camcorders. I know some people love these types of films, but the constant movement just makes me sick. If that wasn't bad enough, as it turns out the story has basically no plot, as the story follows Jimmy's courtship of his parents friends daughter. The whole first half of the movie features a ton of sex and nudity and plays like a really high end porno, from there the story gets a little better, but not by much. It's your typical boy and girl falling in love in a matter of days and stick together...

Wow, wow and wow!
It's hard to explain how I love this movie, actually... I really liked how they had the camara view from their home cam... And Eddie's and Rachael's performances were VERY good and intense! I loved it! I LOVE EDDIE FURLONG!!!!!!!!! <3 :D HE was the REAL reason why I watched this movie and I fell in love with it. It's very funny, real and also heartwarming..... They are in love and end up going out of control and become killers.... But I don't think they THINK of themselfs as KILLERS really. Just doing whatever they want or need to do and have fun while doing it. lol! :P The ending was shocking and powerful! Some people may or may not like this movie but I LOVED it............ Eddie, GREAT job! <3
