Women in Trouble

Time for another special Potentially Bad Move Night with Emilie Staat (@emofalltrades on Twitter), and this time we're doing a two-part series - "Women in Trouble" and its sequel "Elektra Luxx"! First up, "Women in Trouble", an indie tale of ten different women across one truly messed up day. How will it stack up? Let's find out!

DONNA:
I was utterly prepared to hate this and more than pleasantly surprised that I didn't. This was funny, smart, witty, sexy, & surprisingly well acted throughout. The stories joined together in interesting & intriguing ways that I didn't expect. I have more hope for "Elektra Luxx" now! Definitely worth a rent. 4/5

EMILIE:
Think Valentine's Day or Love Actually - a handful of interconnected stories all revolving around the theme of women in trouble: women's relationships with each other, with men, with children. This movie is incredibly funny and surprisingly poignant. It deals frankly with sexual situations in a way that is raunchy and interesting and feels very true. But beneath the shock of the sex is some true sentiment and I loved watching a movie that explores that. Make sure you wait for the scene after the credits - hysterical. 5/5 stars

DONNA'S RATING: 4/5
EMILIE'S RATING: 5/5

I have to say I'm totally shocked at both of our reactions to this one - I was sure this was going to be a total failure of a film to be very honest. Who knew there were so many gems disguised as potentially bad movies? Will "Elektra Luxx" live up to it's predecessor and blow us away as well? We'll find out soon on our net Potentially Bad Movie Night! ;)
