Shadows on the Wall

Actor-filmmaker Max Talisman fills the screen with bright colours and sharply well-written dialog that's delivered in an enjoyably off-the-cuff way.

Rated: 3.5/5

It has its fair share of sweet and amusing moments, but, for the most part, it's contrived, cheesy and sugar-coated.

I wanted to like this movie SO bad!!! But there was so little to like, sadly the Writer/Director/Lead Actor Max Talisman, should have cast the role to an experienced actor was not good not believable, not likable or any endearing characteristics that made you like or care about him. Joey Pollari, did a decent job, but the only two chuckles I had were due to the brilliant and lovable actress Jackie Cruz (from OITNB Series) she made it possible for me to make it to the end Charlie Tahan was good, but not used enough. Really disappointed and sad to say that.

Thoroughly enjoyed this film. It's a feel-good RomCom that is very approachable and feels original, yet familiar at the same time. I'm not normally one for this type of genre, but gave it a chance and really glad that I did. Worth a watch if you're looking for something with some hope.

The movie was so poorly written, directed, acted, filmed that I thought I was being punked with an AI movie. I cannot fathom why the director would cast himself as a main lead and make the character seem so insufferable. I wanted this to be the type of movie where the plus size "king" wins but it is so hard to want to be on his side when he acts like such a terrible person.
