Summary: don't waste your time or money
Comment: This is arguably one of the worst films I have ever had the misfortune to view. Don't be fooled by the "cult classic" view it has received. The plot is absolutely absurd. Even worse are the actors. There is not one single performance that is noteworthy. Even a bad movie can be made tolerable with good acting - this movie is not one of them.
Save your time and money and move on to something else.

Comment: "No Ordinary Love"
Indie and Amateur
Amos Lassen and Cinema Pride
"No Ordinary Love" is more than one movie--in fact, it is several movies rolled into one. Each story receives a portion of the total film. Because of that each story suffers because the viewer is forced to bring the stories together as the characters are interrelated. In fact, the movie plays like a soap opera and if this is what you like than you will undoubtedly enjoy this film.
Because it is an independent, low-budget film the acting and production values influence the entire movie but that did not stop me from enjoying it.
Dealing with a group of roommates (for lack of a better word), who get wrapped up in things that are way above them, there is the possibility for a good storyline. It is indeed unfortunate that the acting is so poor in what could have been such a good movie. The idea for the plot was good but the actors were only fair to really lousy. What a shame--this could have been so good.

Summary: Romantic romp with twists galore
Comment: "No Ordinary Love" is a delightful experience.It toys with our imaginations and fantasies as the story progresses almost willing it to a conclusion but often just put in for subtle teases..Its funny in parts and perhaps a bit unbelievable in others.The cast is eclectic with the main characters very cute.Overall not a bad watch and you find yourself staying to the end to make sure their is a happy ending...A good movie for the DVD collection.One to enjoy over and over with friends...

Summary: Hot teen actors and crazy plot makes this no ordinary movie
Comment: This film is amazing! It's full of technical flaws, especially poor editing, that disclose inexperience on the part of its makers. But surprise after surprise, it all comes together beautifully on an entertainment and emotional level.
Most of the actors are very good, but for me it was Ramon and Vince that I enjoyed most. These two are really hot, both in looks, but more important, as actors. The dream sequence and the awakening to reality by Vince is probably the most moving part of the film, wonderfully expressed by the actors and director. Also, whoever wrote the script has a real feel for human emotions.A wonderful find for me. Forget the technical and plot craziness and see it!

Summary: Crackpot plotting - horrible acting. Never dull, though!
Comment: Closeted landlord Kevin lives with his weirdo tenants, an orphaned teenager, a male stripper and a girl playing in an all-girl rock band. Another tenant has recently fallen to his death in a drunken stupor. None of these people pay the rent.
Kevin's mum, who owns the house, threatens Kevin with eviction if he doesn't get some paying tenants who can help her meet the mortgages. Full-figured bank clerk Ben is recruited as the missing tenant, and all seems, well, - well!Then Vince, the teenager, develops a crush on his latino friend Ramon, while Andy, the male stripper, comforts Ramon's slutty mother. Ben, meanwhile, is not what he appears to be, and Kevin marries the female rock singer to please mommy, even though he is still in love with the dead tenant. Kevin is one stupid guy.
Then things turn nasty...in a very strange way..
Trying to outguess this script is patently impossible. No ordinary love plays like something written by John Waters, directed by Andy Warhol/ Gregg Araki and produced by Aaron Spelling. The totally unsuitable music score leans heavily on Dallas, Melrose place and those icky Chris Columbus comedies. Swirling violins, moody pianos and "funny" pizzicato music whenever fat Ben enters the picture.
The plot is so scrappy it falls apart early on. A lot of interplay between the characters, sure, but nothing is even vaguely related to anything else. The "acting" is brutally bad. The schizofrenic mood never settles. From crime-caper to tender love story via melodrama and mystery back to social critique and satire on family life.
No ordinary love has one thing going for it: It's never dull. Terrible, yes, but never dull. I would choose this over any Chris Columbus movie, anytime. And - it's a gay movie, as well. Sort of. I could never figure it out.
The reviewer from Houston got it absolutely right. This is crazy, plain and simple. Crazy, crazy, crazy.
