Customer Reviews of Amy's O

Then Amy's agent arranges a live-on-the-air interview with radio talk-show host, Matthew Starr (played by Nick Chunlund). Now Starr could probably teach Howard Stern a thing or two about offending women--Starr is lecherous, very, very blunt, and he's probably had more women than I've had hot dinners.

This is a very fresh, funny, and engaging film--however, it is is also quite frank when it comes to the frequent discussion of sex--definitely not for children, and I would hesitate to recommend it as a "date" film--as your date MAY be very offended--there's plenty to offend almost everyone in this film. So be prepared. "Amy's O" is not your average "boy meets girl" film--it's much more than that--it blends modern relationships with modern attitudes (with a very heavy emphasis on female sexuality) mixes it all up, and shows what a confusing mess it can be.

Woody Allen as a young woman!
Writer/director/actress Julie Davis is Amy Mandrell, a 29-year-old author of a best-selling book "Why Love Doesn't Work". Women everywhere are loving it, and Amy is doing the talk-show circuit. She's pretty, single and rich, but not happy. For free therapy, she goes to confession, even though she is Jewish.

She does an interview with a Howard Stern-like shock jock and he asks her out. This could be very bad for her career. But it also forces Amy to examine the fact that she has just written an entire book on relationships and espoused a whole philosophy on the subject with hardly any experience (she only had one weekend-long affair in her entire 29 years.)

An aside: It is also annoying to see Amy drive around alone in a massive SUV. But her publicist drives her and drops her off at a meeting.

This is funny, witty, well-acted and directed, and it will make you think about your own experiences with love and if you too are being a hypocrite about it.

Julie Davis Just Might Save Us
Lots of review people seemed to take this thing way too seriously - but it's only supposed to be a cute little comedy - not Gone With The Wind. And relax, nobody's even taking on Woody Allen here, either.

The Amy character is just your average confused, biological clock-ticking sweetie, that's all. And Julie Davis turned in a fine first effort as director AND star. Try doing that Chaplin bit yourself and you'll see it's like carrying a 100 pound backpack while running for the bus every morning!

The tortured "cross-purposes" priest was funny, the DJ guy was funny, and all of the Amy character's little friends were funny. What more could be asked of a low-budget project? And since the lead character doesn't just talk all the time to other chicks, it's not even a generic chick flick. Excellent!

Plus Julie herself emerged as a very attractive lady in many ways, being a classic neurotic (and erotic) Jewish gem, who is a frequent masturbator and has a perfect posterior (which she wrongly thinks is too big).

As a sidenote, I wonder if our gal - Florida's own Julie Davis - is tired of being constantly mistaken for Australia's Judy Davis? Maybe Julie should just change her name to Amy. That's who we all think of her as now, anyway.

Looking forward to your next project (in front of the camera again) Julie!
