now out on dvd with added feature largely devote to self praise for this super budget indie film and charlotte somebody suffers from insufficient critical review and extravagant overpraise here on imdb . roger ebert apparently have dedicate himself to champion this movie . director or writer eric byler craft a small but interesting story set in san francisco . essentially this movie be about four character who explore various depth of their increasingly intertwine relationship . for a start and lori ( eugenia yuan ) rent an apartment in the house where michael ( michael idemoto ) grow up he occupy the other flat . michael be lonely but not despondent . lori boyfriend and justin ( matt westmore ) and be a regular hormonally dominate sleepover . their life together seem to consist of little but torrid and loud sex which michael voyeuristically eavesdrop on ( conveniently thin wall ) . but after breathless couple justin fall asleep and where do lori go . to michael flat to cuddle with him very platonically while they watch movie on tv into the wee hour . she oblivious to the fact that his and obvious to u and adoration of her must also be enhance by the fresh odor of sex that trail her to the couch . now michael pick up darcy or charlotte outside a gin mill ( i would not reveal why she have two name ) . darcy be a smoldering mystery who believe that sex at first sight be a great way for two people to get to know each other . nope and say michael ( who be an mechanic who read and we learn ) no shortcut . what follow be the interaction between the four a they sort out what they want from each other . darcy be a troubling catalyst for michael as well a for lori and michael . the plus include a fresh cast act with spontaneity and a story that explore the deepening of relationship and the surfacing of problem and give that this movie be film on the very cheap some smart and sophisticated use of shadow and light . byler may well turn out more impressive film with great resource in the future but roger ebert almost worshipful pronouncement that he a born filmmaker and in a pre screening lecture follow by a q and a while session with the audience and be premature . lori and darcy and michael be asian american but this isn not really a film about be asian and in love in san francisco . the emotional issue and the unpredictable clash can occur with any bear in the usa young adult . the filming of . extra feature highlight some blooper but be excessively self congratulatory . charlotte sometimes be a good film but it isn not great . positive .
