Movie Reviews of Cashback
Movie Review: You won't want your CASHBACK, if you buy this DVD.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm the kind of guy that will always remind people to never judge a book by the cover, or in this case, a DVD by the box cover. However, this DVD is an exception to that rule of thumb. I freely admit that I bought this DVD solely because of the VERY provocative picture on the front of the box cover while I was out shopping for something new on DVD the other day. I have absolutely no regrets about that.
I just finished watching the Academy Award nominated original short version of "Cashback", the feature length version, and the "Making of" feature. The original short and the feature length versions of "Cashback" are hilarious and the writing, directing, casting, cinematography, editing, and the sound were absolutely PERFECT. The "Making of" feature is funny, entertaining, and informative too.
As an aspiring filmmaker, I must say that I hope to one day make a movie as good as or better than this one. I can't say anything bad about this movie at all. I highly recommend this to anyone that likes intelligent, well written, directed, cast, acted, and edited independent movies that are funny, provocative, moving, and unforgettable. This wonderful movie is about a young man in college coming of age, coming out of one intimate relationship with a young woman and then getting into an intimate relationship with a different young woman, and all of the crap that life throws at you while they're going through all of those things and everything else in between.
I got lucky with the purchasing of this DVD. This is definitely a DVD that you can judge by the photo on the front of the box cover. This is one of my new favorites.
Now, I have a few suggestions for anyone that is seriously considering buying a copy of this DVD:
1.) After it arrives in your mailbox or on your doorstep and after you open it, when you put it in your DVD player to watch it, go to the "Special Features" section first and watch the Academy Award nominated short version of "Cashback" first.
2.) Don't watch this movie with ANY kids because it is absolutely NOT appropriate for ANYONE under the age(s) of 17/18 without a parent or legal guardian present during the viewing of this movie. Yeah, this movie contains a lot of nudity and simulated semi-graphic sex and not so graphic implied male [...]. However, it is the mature adult themes in this movie that make it a VERY bad choice for viewing by any naive high school age teenagers.
This movie is not as sophomoric or misogynistic as the front box cover photo implies. This is NOT a European independent "American Pie", "Accepted", "Road Trip", or "Knocked Up" kind of movie. However, if you think that your teenaged son or daughter is mature enough to understand this movie's mature adult themes and that it's okay for them to watch this DVD alone or with their friends, then disregard this warning/recommendation all together.
3.) My final recommendation. Watch this movie with your phone and cellphone turned off. Eliminate any and all possible distractions while you watch this movie. That includes any preconceived notions or expectations that you may have because this movie is unique. So, I won't compare this movie to any other movies here, other than what I stated in recommendation #2 about what other DVDs this DVD is NOT at all like, because that might take something away from your viewing experience and I don't want to do that.
So, buy this DVD, put it your DVD player, sit back, relax, and...enjoy the movie!
