Most of us choosing to watch this movie will probably know about the movie before watching it. I actually chose it in a bad movie month (November) because as a guy I actually thought (and still do) that Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame and on the back of 'Remember Me' was a good actor. the movie also featured Robert Downey Junior and Amy Adams and I thought it was worth a whirl.

sorry, it wasted my evening, what a complete load of absolute rubbish, garbage, words fail me. It is one of the worst films which I have ever seen and was surely made to mock us all in our intelligence of watch ability.

The film starts okay but goes rapidly downhill from there. I was expecting a connection between the five stories but there was absolutely none and as for any love theme, that lost me completely.

Movies like Crash, Fragments, Babel and others enthralled me but this one leaves me wondering what it was Alla bout and the sad thing is I will hesitate about watching another Pattinson/Adams movie after this debacle.

This makes movies like 'Cloverfield' look like an Oscar nominee.

The 'waitress' thing was quite watchable but far from entertaining and the 'cars' thing towards the end - the guy trying to pick up the ladies - and the mature lady who finds her 'cowboy' - just leaves you wondering what we are watching. The ending has absolutely no meaning and if there is any acting of real note, it is probably from the sexy girl on the train.

Be warned - this movie should definitely carry a health warning!

10 October 2014. This movie is really five separate movie shorts directed by different directors and shot by different movie crews and the last movie short actually is a series of individual mini-shorts which is the least comprehensible of all. Except for the last short, the four short movies all have a love angle that echoes some of the more serious attempts at storytelling and emotive expression, including Shirley MacLaine's and Golden Globe nominee, Women Times Seven (1967),Nicole Kidman's Margot at the Wedding (2007),The Tree of Life (2011),Bill Murray's Lost in Translation (2003).

The movies isn't for mainstream audiences and offer slices of life events that don't always have pat conclusions, but reflect more of the episodic nature of love, moments of compassion and betrayal, urgency and doubt, and happiness. A worthwhile experiential film if one can mostly ignore the last short (which isn't consistent with rest of its companions, better scene separately as a series of short, shorts).

Love & Distrust is a direct-to-video romance film starring James Franco, Robert Downey, Jr., Amy Adams, Sam Worthington, and Robert Pattinson. The movie includes 5 unique short films:"The Summer House";"Blue Poles"; "Grasshopper"; "Pennies" and "Auto Motives". It was directed by Lorraine Bracco,("Auto Motives");Daisy Gili ("The Summer House");Eric Kmetz("Grasshopper");Warner Loughlin and Diana Valentine("Pennies"); and Darcy Yuille ("Blue Poles").

It follows eight individuals from diverse backgrounds on their quest for true contentment. A waitress,a business man and a lusting teenager from different backgrounds share similar experiences as they search for love, trust and the meaning of life. It is a film about how events shape our perspective and help us form connections with each other in the most unlikely of places.

This is not your typical film.Many have rated this low due to this reason alone.One has to watch this with an open mind to realize how good this collection of short films is.

One must realize that this is a film about life.The main characters presented here are experiencing the conflicts as well as the challenges they are currently facing in life such as financial woes, stereotypes, alcoholism, sexuality and of course love and trust issues; and how they handle them.

This is not your escapist film but rather a collection of film that presents realistically about different situations we may find ourselves into.It is one of the best direct-to-videos ever released.
