Movie Reviews of Price of Milk, The
Movie Review: A Surreal Romantic-Comedy..
Summary: 4 Stars
Price of Milk is a contemporary fairy tale with about love where a princess is exchanged for an ordinary girl, Lucinda. Rob, the prince, and Lucinda are happy and they are looking forward to getting married. The happiness lasts until the day when one of Lucinda's friends tells her that men want their women more after fights. In the process they end up getting their quilt stolen in the middle of the night, which adds to the looming predicaments. Price of Milk provides many different ideas that are presented in a surrealistic manner, which actually enhances the impact of the story. The ideas in the story also offer entertainment as well as self-reflection and in the end awards the audience with a clever cinematic experience.Movie Review: What do we do with all those shoes?
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very unusual movie, full of quirky characters and surreal circumstances. I think this movie is more akin to the French movie "Amelie" than "Like water for Choclate" as one reviwer suggested. The movie is totaly refreshing and, for me, I like it even better on second viewing. I especially like the allegory of Lucinda hoarding up all the baby shoes in her suitcase. Sometimes we treasure some things so much that we forget what they really mean to us.Movie Review: The Price of Milk DVD

I am a huge fan of Karl Urban. I am buying any and all DVDs I can lay my hands on in which he appears.
I don't think I am alone when I say, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE??
Movie Review: Strange things happen
Summary: 3 Stars
The Price of Milk is a movie that can only be viewed on its own terms. Strange things happen, sometimes revolving around a curse (moral: drive carefully), sometimes just because. There's a quilt, there are cows, and there's New Zealand mysticism (or something). Realism isn't the point.
There's a coherent plot in there somewhere, but the movie is as much a collection of unexpected events as it is a coherent narrative. This is at first charming and cute; an early scene with Rob and Lucinda sharing a bath is particularly nice.
The amusement level is high at first, but after a while the movie just gets tiring. After an endless parade of nonsense, I eventually started to wish that they would just get on with it and stop throwing in so many additional complications. It is, fortunately, not very long.
There's not a lot to lose by renting the movie (I found it in the Drama section, amazingly enough), but why would anyone want to own this? It's hard to justify repeated viewings when the whole point is that you're never quite sure what they're going to throw at you next.
Movie Review: An Acid Trip
Summary: 3 Stars
First I have to say.....I rented this because it was getting such great reviews from everyone else who watched it. And I honestly can't see why they thought it was so great. It didn't impress me all that much. It was okay; not horrible. But I would think if I were ever on an acid trip, this film is what it would be like. Somewhere between them doing dishes in the bathtub and her collection of baby shoes, I got extremely confused as to how everything really fit together. Which is too bad, because all the actors did a fairly good job with what they were given. Three out of Five stars is what this film gets from me. Its okay, but don't get your heart set on something spectacular.
