The Pink Conspiracy (2008)
Dave is convinced that his knock-out girlfriend Jamie is cheating on him, despite his best friend Victoria's reassurance that it's all in his head. When his life begins to unravel, both at work as well as in his relationship, Dave's suspicions overwhelm him and he stumbles upon a discovery that turns his world upside down. After following Jamie to a "study group" one night, Dave is shocked to learn that his girlfriend is the leader of a conspiratorial group of ex girlfriends, whose sole purpose is to torment him and ruin his life. Following the discovery, Dave finds himself tumbling through a series of adventures as he attempts to unveil the truth, all while getting his life back on track. With the guidance of several questionable comrades, and the help of the conspirators' alluring new but reluctant recruit Katie, Dave ultimately pieces the puzzle together and finds out the hard way that sometimes true love is worth fighting for.

it had been 45 minutes shorter and if the scenes with two thugs beating Dave to a gruesome pulp had been left on the cutting room floor. Not only did this brutality conflict with the humor, the concept of two male thugs brutalizing another male for the sake of the pink conspiracy made no sense. But this aside, the movie dragged due to Dave pausing to express his exasperation and frustration at every opportunity. Twice would have sufficient for us to get the message. The concept of the movie has great potential and perhaps should be re-shot by either the original director or another director who is able to create a movie that moves along a bit faster while still conveying the emotion, conceptual theme, and plotting of the original (without the brutality).
The Pink Conspiracy is a cute, funny, well made movie! Pretty stinking good actually. It splits down the middle when it comes to an audience, its for both males and females. I found it interesting to see a guys point of view.The film score was awesome, not sure if everyone pays attention to that but LOVED it! The writing was great, it makes you stop and pay attention to what is being said and how similar it is to reality, and that's where a lot of humor is. Subtle humor is great, Marc Clebanoff shows us that not all comedy has to be over the top. Actors were great and funny.Loved how he introduced characters to the story, everyone in 'real' life knows a character or two. I think this movie is great and would recommend anyone seeing it! Marc Clebanoff's a great film maker, from writing the story to actually directing and producing it, its pretty incredible. He's talented, definitely someone to watch out for!
I initially picked this movie up because of Mercedes McNab. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that there is also another Angel star in here too - Sarah Thompson. It was a lot of fun watching them together in something so different than what they did in Angel (and Buffy). That aside, I enjoyed the movie. At first glance it seems like it would definitely be more of a guys movie but there's a lot in here for the girls too. Most of the characters were pretty over the top but that made it all the more fun. My only frustration with The Pink Conspiracy is that you never find out if Dave (B. Snedeker) and Katie (S. Thompson) end up together at the end. They kind of leave it open ended, which I guess for some is all good. I personally wanted to know what happens to them. Overall, a fun movie with some friends and some drinks.
I'd been wanting to see this one for awhile and was glad when it finally came out. It seems to hit or miss with people judging by reviews and comments. I personally enjoyed it. It's pretty apparent it's a low budget film but nothing about it stood out as particularly poor. Actually, there were a handful of laugh out loud moments. Pink Conspiracy is not without its flaws but it is definitely better than a lot of the crap that I've seen on late night cable. If you're looking for a profound or life-changing message then this isn't for you but if you enjoy independent films and want a few laughs, I'd say it's worth a shot.
