| User ReviewCynthia SWho would've thought that Jenna directed and wrote this film instead of James? An hour long enjoyable jab at the bougie higher-ups who think they're doing something big with as little effort as possible. |
| User ReviewDenise GSome parts of this were pretty golden...a lot of it wasn't, but it was ok. I think James Gunn is a douche so I was surprised that I thought he was funny in this. Jenna Fischer and James Gunn have since divorced so the tension between them wasn't perhaps all fiction. |

| User ReviewBill A"That the lollipops of Lollilove may propel homeless people to going out and do something good with their lives. Feeling good about themselves. Perhaps getting a job. Maybe using birth control." Lollilove is a pretty funny flick, but in a very dark way. Jenna Fischer must have quite the black sense of humor to write something like this, because many of the jokes cross the "politically correct" line in a way that you'd expect from Sarah Silverman, not from the angel-faced woman that so many people have become fans of because of The Office. This mockumentary follows a vapid, shallow, wealthy couple (played by Jenna and her ex-husband), who feed their own vanity by coming up with an absurd scheme to help the homeless...by founding a charity named Lollilove. A charity that aims to inspire and help those living on the streets by giving them a lollipop every week. Lollipops with (supposedly) life-changing artwork and slogans written on custom (and very expensive) wrappers. The story follows them trying to procure a corporate sponsor and funding to get their "charity" up and running, and then we see them and a few of their friends put their plan into action. The relationship of the couple also gets tested by the strain of their efforts, and starts to deteriorate as Lollilove comes together. As I said, this is a pretty dark comedy. You have to have a specific sense of humor to "get" it. When the jokes work, they work very well (the homeless man that confronts Jenna with his..."desires" near the end left my side hurting from laughing), but there are also some that fall flat. Still, for such a low budget production, I though Lollilove was fairly impressive. At the very least, fans of Fischer should check it out. |
| User ReviewZac SStrange, low budget and dark comedy from a perpetually perky star. Can't reccomend it, unless you're truly curious about Pam before The Office. |
| User ReviewBryan WW: 0. A little funny. I chuckled a couple of times. Mostly not worth it. |
| User ReviewJason P"Dark Humor makes this b-movie tolerable at best." It's doubtful that giving lollipops to homeless people will change the world or encourage someone to go out and get a job. It ludacris mockumentary has me annoyed and baffled. Lollilove's attempt to persuade me to love red dye candy and a bad plot is unsuccessful. Its a miss. |
