Losing in Love 2016

     Ronnie Blevins is an undiscovered writer and he is writing a narration of his life.  He has recently been released from prison.  He is  tasked by his overanxious literary agent to re-write a classic love story set in Los Angeles.  He writes at a local diner in Venice.  He meets Amber, she is street wise and a sexy mercurial waitress with a troubled past.  Reality and imagination influence his screenplay as it develops.  Ronnie and Amber are trying to hold on to each other to weather their personal storms.  Their love could be woven into the story and allow it to become the inspiration for a great love story in the city of Los Angeles?


     Amber and Ronnie feel lost but their relationship may pull them back from the edge of their darkness?  In the beginning, I almost quit watching and I didn’t like this movie.  It started to get better and it does turn out to be a good movie.  Ronnie believes in his work and he doesn’t care what his agent thinks.  He pushes back against the people asking him to change the ending of his work.  This becomes tricky for a few minutes but is a good thing and everything smooths out.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)


96 min, Drama directed and written by Martin Papazian with Marina Benedict, Ronnie Gene Blevins, Martin Papazian, Claudie Doumit, Saun Duke Connie Marie Brazelton, Melissa Pino, Janice Bergere, Mark Valley, Tristan Lake Leabu, Keili Lefkovitz, Shane Johnson, Alex Desert.


Note:  Imdb 6.8* out of 10* with 138 reviews, Amazon 4.2* out of 5* with 133 ratings. 


Special Note:  There is a mistake, when Ronnie tears out a page in his journal, there is already writing on the next page?
