2 to Tangle
A**M
Good valued romance - Scary - Lame . . . not a good mix!
I don't even have the words to express how I feel about this film. I love good valued christian films. I don't worry about B film acting, low budget issues when the movie has a great message and leaves you happy, deep in thought, uplifted, or spiritually rejuvenated. "2 to Tangle" was NOT any of these.The first 1h 19m was great. It was good seeing a young woman sticking to her values. The whole concept of there being 2 men that look alike could have been good. Like I said, could have been.I don't know what sect the film makers are, I don't really care as long as they are teaching good doctrine. However, this movie turned into a low budget horror film for five minutes. Creepy, fearful music started playing and the preacher started talking about how Jessica (the main character) is seeing an apparition of an evil spirit. He then brought her home to cast the evil away from her. I believe there are evil spirits in this world, but this was a romance turned scary!After the scary five minutes, the movie turned into a lame attempt to show how God is good. The last 20 minutes several sub plots made their way into the film. Although abortion, adoption, miracles, healing of hearts, God working mysteries are all great movie topics, they were all just randomly thrown in so that the movie could cover as many Christian topics possible. I only gave this two stars, because I didn't turn it off before it was done. This movie was terrible!

Great Potential
I applaud the creators of this film who did everything from writing to acting and directing. That takes guts and the end result, while not amazing, was worth the watching and engaging enough to hold an audience's attention. Yes, some of the acting was a bit lacking, although the main character, Jessica, has some serious acting potential and pulled off the leading role well. The story line was creative and again had some real potential for a great plot but became a little convoluted in a few places. I really appreciate the Christian values, but it could have been more effective if it were just a little more subtle in places and tighter in the construction/direction. The filming was well done. If they tightened up the spaces in conversation, develop a little more depth in the romantic relationship and let the acting flow a little more realistically it would have been 5 stars. For a "B" movie, I was not disappointed. I hope this group produces more.

SLOOOOOW and then preachy
One of the slooooowest movies I've seen with wooden acting from some of the lesser characters. The plot is obvious. Because of the look-alike plot device, sometimes it's hard to figure out which person is in the scene at first--the not-so-great-boyfriend or the rich inventor. That's annoying.What's in the description doesn't start until over 2/3 of the movie has passed. Most of the movie is a slooooooow development of a going-nowhere relationship. Then add in a misunderstanding that allows the heroine to meet "Mr.Right" without realizing it. Then the movie gets weird and preachy. It starts lecturing about spirits and demons and ghosts...and I hate when Christian movies preach some message at the viewers. It's like the rest of the story is an excuse to preach some idea.Then the cute/predictable ending. Although, (SPOILER!!!)...come to think of it, it's actually a little creepy to marry your dead boyfriend's twin brother.Two stars for the potential some of the ideas had, though they weren't carried out well here. The "cheating on you with you" and secretly-twins having two dates at the same time in the same place and the mishaps that could ensue ideas were good.Not to mention it is rare that twins are separated in adoption. Most hopeful adoptive parents are thrilled to adopt twins, and most expectant parents understand it's best for twins to stay together. I can't say it never happens, but it's extremely rare--and usually the adoptive parents are told they are adopting one of a set of twins.

It was ok
I wanted to really like this one. It had potential to be a great clean romantic comedy with Christian values.I feel that the description provided by Amazon does not accurately describe the movie at all. Neither does the cover.It started out good - then a sudden turn made it weird. There was a part I was ready to just turn it off - but stuck it out. The ending was great but from about an hour ten to the last ten minutes it was really strange.But it was an ok movie - just not a light hearted romantic comedy that the description or cover make it seem to be.

Low budget and a bit long
This is a low budget film. It even has voice overs which are a bit annoying. It takes a long time to get to a known ending. While it is clean and okay show for a couch day.....the preachy part about demons haunting you in the form of someone you lost was a bit overboard and off of what we believe and the for sure the desired feel of the movie. Still there is so much smut and crap out there -choosing this one will still probably leave you feeling bit better than those!

Nice way to spend a rainy afternoon.
The overall message of not putting off the commitment to one's faith was a good one. The story line was solid, the acting was like watching a college play, but I'm guessing it was many of the players early work. The ideas on talking to those who have passed were not totally accurate and could have easily been omitted. There were other ways to have this aspect of her believing she was seeing the dead explained. Some scenes---like the mud trucks----not sure why they were relevant. Overall it was a hallmark like movie on not a hallmark budget.....but I would rather watch this type of movie than most of what Hollyweird produces.

This movie is worth watching.
This movie has a very good story and Morality. I knew it was a Christian film so I expected to see God in the film. In places the acting was a little stiff. The actors didn't seem relaxed in front of the camera or when saying their lines, but don't look at that get involved with the story and the values of the people and watch how the story unfolds the end is good but I wanted there to be a little more and I think that is good instead of saying good that's over. It's a safe family movie.
