Apartment Troubles (2014)

I was rather excited at what seemed to be a hopeful start to this movie. Relative unknowns in the lead, but talented, fresh and with apparent acting talent, (albeit obviously earlier in their careers). But we just don't need another stupid" but eager to learn youngster story. Not 1/3 the way into the movie one begins to get a foreboding that these two "roomies" don't have the maturity to be trusted with a pet cat without ominous results. Cats. Probably the toughest of the domesticated pets anyone could be charged with the care of. Well. The foreboding was accurate. In spite of the "passionate grieving" exhibited by one of the girls, the other (or both to be more accurate, by sheer neglect) manage to kill a "pet" cat through sheer stupidity. In an age where our society needs only an on screen example/excuse to act injuriously toward a more helpless creature, this movie provides that example with pride. This movie appears to be a "growth" through maturation process story. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to matter that the growth is exemplified by "innocent mistakes" such as smothering a helpless creature in gold paint. I couldn't rate the movie lower than the 5 I gave it....after all, they didn't kill a child. Hollywood is saving that "coming of age" for another storyline, I guess.

Watching perhaps one of the worst movies ever made, "Apartment Troubles" on Showtime. It's suppose to be a comedy, but the two female stars are obnoxious and horrible actors. What is funny about killing a cat with gold paint, burning a cat on a grill, being evicted, spilling a pan on a stove, breaking into a house, taking Aderol, tearing up fake flowers, dressing in garbage bags, making fun of artists, starving but refusing to eat, hovering in a corner when someone is outside of a door, stuffing your face with angle food cake & red wine...I will never get this time back. What's so funny about two losers who think they're actors? So sad that Jeffery Tambor and Will Forte had graced their presence on this thing, even though it was for brief cameos. Sorry Ms Mulally, why? Avoid at ALL COSTS, trust me...

This artsy film was refreshing due to its seeming lack of premeditation. I wasn't sure what was going to happen next, and this is the mark of good scripting for me. A little sappy at times (too much with the cat mourning) and the feely ending... although the hairless cat represented hope adequately - once in a blue moon, an anomaly can come along. 'Karen' was appropriately creepy as the rapey lesbian - I've missed her. Would have liked to see more from Lance Bass. One line? Jeffrey Tambor was casually funny. "How could you kick us out illegally?" "This is an illegal apartment." (For the record, you can't do that, ask Judge Marilyn Milian). Unlike some other reviews, I felt that these girls represented many young female artists. The artist archetype is simply not skilled at money making, and many young creative women are thrust into this highly expensive, aggressive world and it eats them alive, with others shunning them for their inability to conform (Nicole's family doesn't even invite her on vacation when she is harmless and kindhearted). These girls are raised with people praising them for being sweet and gentle (the dinner guests cooing over Nicole's childhood photo), then once these pretty girls are released into society, they're expected to earn like privileged alpha males - this theme is well highlighted by the Trouble(d) Dolls being preyed upon by every character they encounter. The attention to detail of the colourful shots of Nicole's art-making inside the apartment was not lost on me. Cool art on its own, made meta by the creative filming angles and sequencing. Trouble Dolls is such the better title - why the generic Apartment Troubles? - bla.

well the idea of the movie is not clear.The plot is vague and shattered all over the place .... just some scenes rolling over two girls living like semi-Homeless by choice !!,, or is it about life !! all starts with troubles of their apartment !!It's suppose to be a Comedy/Drama but i kinda didn't get or see that !! The movie gives few bits of comedy when Will Forte and Megan Mullally appeared.The stroyline and the events are so still ,, no ups or downs .. it's not that tempting to keep on watching you just wait for the moment that attract you but it never comes.thou in the second part of the movie got awkwardly somehow funny but god it was still weird :PThe casting ,, well i couldn't really judge the cast .. i mean of the two leads "Nicole"and"Olivia" are suppose to act this way of laziness, careless, cleansing and all about the soul then they did a good job but still it didn't help the movie in any way.Overall,, the writers should'v done so much more work to make it a real comedy-Drama movie ,, now it's just A movie .. no genre is included.
