'HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED'
"An
extraordinarily engaging, well-written and creatively filmed romantic comedy
comprised of four stories set in hotel rooms on the same floor... Rhee's
feature debut is in some ways a textbook for how to make a great low-budget
feature: Start with a really good, tightly written script, hire some
terrific, trained, hungry actors and shoot it economically on small
interiors. For an audience, it's a winning combination."
-The San Francisco Chronicle
"The
performances are convincing, and director Gene Rhee does a good job of
outlining the messiness of human affections here, showing how we don't always
know what we really want or how to get it."
-The
Chicago Reader
"Gene
Rhee's wacky and endearing debut feature film "The Trouble With Romance"
scores points on most levels of engagement as a warm, breezy conversation about
romantic entanglements between men and women. Split into four vignettes
set under one hotel roof in Los Angeles, a quartet of rooms are the stages for
frolic, fun, fantasy and frivolity."

"Roger
Fan's intense crying jag while on the toilet is a riot. It is to bathroom
crying jags what the French Connection car chase is to car chases."
-The
San Jose Metro
"Rhee
is a talented director..."
-The
SF Weekly
