2 in the Bush: A Love Story

This is a solid indie film with a truly unique story. Great dialogue, great performances, warm and funny. Highly recommend to those looking for a totally different kind of rom-com.

The first 10-15 mins are kinda bad, the acting feels kinda awkward and the writing isn't great but once you move past that it lessens (that isn't to say its completely gone) But it does improve and becomes a compelling film that you should at least watch once.

A modern take on the rom-com formula, 2 in the Bush is a delight.

Dating is, and always has been, more complex than often portrayed. This movie doesn't shy away from that, exploring sexuality & relationship styles & expectations within an inherently enjoyable genre.

It's a bisexual tale of polyamory that is at once funny & heartwarming.

10/10 Would reccomend

Indeed, hyped up and illogical nonsense. Appealing mainly to those who make excuses to themselves and others because they can't make their minds up on whether they prefer men or women more and gives many people that little push to go for both just because they can. In a way, this was just a desperate attempt (hence the unfunny dialogue that's apparently classed as hilarious stuff) to drag us into this new 'anything goes' or 'anything LGBT is now normal' kind of world.

For instance, look at the front cover of the movie. That told me everything I knew I'd have to watch. An African man on one side, holding two women and the cover is bright pink. Yep. Here we go. Oh and the leads can't act.

I'm waiting to hear this great witty piece that critics raved about; but I've not. What on earth is funny about a couple of pretty and quite petty girls silly LQBT lifestyles with an over weight woman, some 'fifty shades of grey' bondage stuff, yet another African male (no offence but that's getting really predictable now) sone bright colours, some three-way hot but not at all hot moments and endless stupidity on the side? Right. Nothing.

Spike Lee tried something similar - and when he did it, I thought: of course people will be interested with a premise like that. Or at least a lot of people might be. This is a different bi-st (spelled beast - as in I am using a pun here).

But apart from any wet dreams you may have (and there is a fair amount of nudity and love making, but nothing that is there to excite or entice you in and of itself): this is a drama. This is about someone finding their own self - and their dreams and what they want to make of their life(s) ... really well acted. Even in moments that you may find cringe. Life is not always a smooth operator (does this count as a pun?).

Watch at your own peril and hopefully with an open mind. The movie deserves that - all involved in it too. They are being true to themselves and the subject matter.
