I Love You, I Love You Not (1974)
* 1/2 (out of 4)
James Bryan's melodrama about a select group of couples who are all facing a variety of drama.
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU NOT was the fourth film from director Bryan and it at least shows that he was willing to try different genres. THE DIRTIEST GAME was one of the craziest exploitation films that you'll ever see. He followed that up with the crime drama ESCAPE TO PASSION and here we have a couple's melodrama. Sadly, this film has very little to recommend to it.
It seems that this here would have been much better had it been directed by Joe Sarno. The film tries to go for a Euro feel and it pretty much falls flat on its face. There are all sorts of problems with the movie but the biggest is the fact that it's extremely boring. I'd argue that none of the characters are all that interesting and having to sit through these boring dialogue scenes just isn't much fun. I'd also argue that the performances just aren't there to pull it off.
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU NOT at least knows that it needed something to draw people in so we're given all sorts of nudity and sex throughout the film. However, this here just wasn't enough to keep it entertaining.
