Easy

From the Editors

Jamie Harris (Marguerite Moreau) is a 25-year-old self-proclaimed "jerk magnet." After determining not to spend the rest of her life as "the easy chick," she gets involved in a romantic triangle with 2 great guys (2004 Tony winner Brian F. O'Byrne and "Lost's" Naveen Andrews), only to discover that love is anything but easy.

Painfully bad
The low budget mediocre acting is somewhat forgivable, but I can't look past the over the top plot and emotional psychosis of the main character. What should have been a quirky romantic comedy turned into an incestuous love fest where everyone is sleeping with everyone else. Not only is it a cliche and tired plot, but far from anything remotely realistic. Furthermore the main character is painful to even watch as she traipses through life being "easy" as it were because she's an emotional vampire. In the end we question whether she can be happy with any of the characters, much less the man she ends up with, because she can't ever be happy on her own.

None of these characters are exactly role models nor do any of them actually make for an interesting movie. Save your time and money on this one due to its sheer lack of originality.

well done
It did drag on a little, but the acting was so understated and I loved that fact. What the supporting cast did with their slightly cliche characters was play them so realistically and the dialogue was simple and believable even when the situations weren't ones that should have worked (due to being done so often before or else a little odd) Nothing seemed forced or awkward to me, or even too artsy or silly. It was just a moody little story about a moody little woman.

fun movie, great value
I fell in love with this movie after seeing it on an indie movie cable channel,
and then bought the DVD. The video quality was great on my bluray player.
Great deal at around $7!

Not Sure About The Ending
I have been a fan of Marguerite Moreau since The Mighty Ducks movies. Her career path is much more interesting than the career paths of the other Disney child stars; I especially loved her performances in "Queen of the Damned" and "Firestarter 2"; and the reason that I wanted to watch "Easy" is to see Marguerite Moreau's rendering of the lead character, Jamie.

The movie is a lot of fun, and Marguerite is very endearing in this film.

The only question that I have is about the ending. It comes across, I believe, as a happy ending. But with the track record of Marguerite's character (Jamie), you have to wonder "how long will it last?"

I would very much like to see a sequel to this film, and to find out what happens to the characters 10 years later.

Surprisingly entertaining movie with a great plot
When I bought this movie, I was under the assumption that it would be a decent movie that would at the least be interesting enough to hold my attention for around 90 minutes, but I was pleasantly surprised at the substance within the movie and how real the acting felt.

This was positively one of the most well-acted films I have ever seen. All of the supporting cast were great, especially John and Mick. However, the main character absolutely stole the show and really draws the audience in to feel her happiness and pain.

I am sure that everyone has seen plenty of movies, in their time, that attempt to depict relationships in today's world, and they all fall woefully short of the truth. Most movies attempt to show as much nudity as possible and hold back the emotion; while this movie has some nudity, it is effectively done with Moreau being in the moment, either showing her affection or love for the character she is with. Easy was able to pull off "classy" nudity on camera, however "classy" nudity may be able to be. I did not feel at any point that it was overdone, nor was the acting overdone.

Moreau feels like a friend that everybody has and everybody knows that just wants to be happy, but is confused as to how to arrive at that happiness. Easy depicts her journey to happiness and does a phenomenal job of doing so. I whole-heartedly recommend this film to anybody that wants to see an entertaining, true-to-life film that actually "keeps it real."
