| AfterElton.comBrian JuergensGoing Down doesn't stray far from the Hollywood Cautionary Tale formula - but credit for making a downward spiral feel as gritty as a mid-afternoon trip to Pinkberry. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohA young Hollywood hopeful resorts to porn, and his lowered expectations match yours as you trudge through this latest gay--but really grim--offering by tireless auteur Casper Andreas. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleIt's...familiar plotting and by-the-numbers characterization that sinks this earnest, gay-contoured take on the evergreen making-it-big melodrama. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckA young acting hopeful finds that things are tough in Tinseltown in this not exactly revelatory gay-themed drama. |
| User ReviewThom DThis gay romcom was perfect. Its not Brokeback Mountain (thank goddess), it was intriguing, funny, sad, and ultimately hopeful. A fairy tale...literally! <3 |
| User ReviewRoxanne ROnce more Casper Andreas scores a major blockbuster with Going Down in La-La Land!! Oh my goodness, this movie will resonate with everyone who aspires to enter the back-stabbing, fickle, and tough as nails world of showbusiness. Taking place in Los Angeles a young, attractive and penniless guy named Adam (Matthew Ludwinski) moves from NYC to LA with dreams of stardom (don't they all lol)..So Adam rents a room from his best friend Candy (Allison Lane) who lives with her boyfriend. Candy's boyfriend is tired of supporting her when all she does is shop, hit the gym and fails to land auditions in Hollywood. So he breaks up with her and it is up to Candy and Adam to survive in La-La Land. Adam has a rocky start in Los Angeles but thanks to Nick (Casper Andreas) he lands a production job at a porn studio. Will Adam become a star or end up being another victim of the boulevard of broken dreams like so many in La-La Land, a city known for chewing star wannabes up and spitting them out? Tinseltown's glitter sometimes is only ephemeral and ends up burning you if you are careless. Bravo to Casper Andreas! I am a big fan of his films because they vividly portray our fears, insecurities, hopes and dreams. Watching his films equates to sitting down with a dear and faithful friend to hear a good story. Definitely recommended and cheers to La-La Land, where dreams sometimes do come true! |
| User ReviewGuri dI think the best part of this Big Dream Hollywood film is Matthew Ludwinski's performance- he really saves the film. I enjoyed it for what it is- a coming-of-age film with high expectations ( al lots of drama inbetween) from Tinseltown! |
| User ReviewGuy SGrittier than the last two films from Casper, he is perhaps the most compelling part of the film in the role of a strung-out addict. Casper's transition from charming to psycho is completely believable. |
| User Reviewblake dThe director's previous work (Big Gay Musical) was a black out bingo of every single gay movie cliche in the book. This movie feels like a re-imagined version of 'The Fluffer', but for good reason with one of the actors from 'The Fluffer' wrote the novel this movie is based off of. Where the 'Fluffer' had a bit of a noir feel, this film has a bit more of a comedy feel to it with some great supporting characters. |
| User ReviewSteven EWow!! Surprisingly heart hitting!! A delightful tearjerker!! Matthew Ludwinski is adorable!! Allison Lane cracks the wip!! And Judy Tenuta!!! Too good!!! |
