FRANK & PENELOPE is everything I love about movies.
There's romance, action, thriller, suspense, horror, mystery and above all: a lot of fun to watch.
At its core it's a beautiful love story. Love against all odds.
"A horrific allegorical love story." This is how director Sean Patrick Flanery describes his movie himself.
If you love Tarantino movies or movies like Wild at Heart, True Romance, From Dusk till Dawn, Bonnie & Clyde, Thelma and Louise, then you will enjoy Frank and Penelope too.
The music is very inspiring. Not only the beautiful songs, kudos to Sean Patrick Flanery. But also the composers Rhyan D'Errico (Donna D'Errico's son!) & Jared Forman created a phenomenal captivating score.
The whole cast is fantastic, two leads with a great chemistry: Caylee Cowan and Billy Budinich.
It's Billy's very first movie which is unbelievable. Like he's in the business for years.
Caylee is the perfect embodiment of Penelope. Penelope is a stripper who uses her sexuality to get what she wants because she has learned nothing else. But she's strong and smart and finally able to find true love.
Donna D'Errico is so amazing as Mabel. If you know her from Baywatch you'll hardly recognize her.
Johnathon Schaech has that terrifying charisma, perfect for his role as villain. Kevin Dillon's role is small but he's so cool.
It was Sean Patrick Flanery's feature film directorial debut. He also wrote the script after the original story by John Thaddeus.
I hope to see more movies from Sean in the future.
I was coming out of the cinema with a huge smile. A movie even more fun to rewatch for all the details.
And I just love the end credits with these personal notes from Sean.
