ecsmith12 Review of Blessed and Cursed

Blessed and Cursed (2010)

Blessed and Cursed because its hard to follow

[3/10 · 12 January 2013]

Have you ever walked in to a party or a room full of people you didn't know? As you past by, unnoticed, you noticed everyone is deep into their side conversations but you have no idea what is going on. You don't know who is the host. You don't even know the purpose of the party. Well, that's exactly how you feel when you watch this movie. You walk into an exciting scene full of promise but the plot, the storyline and the characters are all undeveloped. Deitrick did not give us an opportunity to get to know the characters and their significance. This is evident when we are presented with a scene that is a supposed tear jerker,(spoiler alert), when the main character mother's dies. However, we can not care because when don't understand the significance to the story, the characters, or to the movie. We have no idea of why she was in the movie. It's like this the entire movie...You are constantly introduced to new characters but you are not offered the opportunity to get to know them or build a connection. Heck, you don't even understand the scene shifts. I would say to pass on the movie and continue to support Dietrick as an artist. I'm sure he will grow. Be Blessed and not Lost.
