A nice surreal romantic flick

Honeyglue is worth watching due to it's being an unusual story told in a surreal romantic style. I found Jordan, Morgan and her family to be so idealized they are totally unbelievable as real characters. But, as a whole they work together wonderfully to create a touching and somewhat melodramatic story.The surreal parts are Jordan himself and his rooftop colorful tent home, the doctor tied up and how it is presented to the viewer, Morgan's (who is stricken with cancer) high energy and just the adventure Jordan and Morgan pursue to experience life before she clocks out.I found this movie mostly interesting but I would never watch it again because it's a one time story and once you see it it's done. The over melodramatic ending is a bit of a turnoff because it's so over acted and borders on humorous.

Defying gender & genre stereotypes through self expression

James Bird's "Honeyglue" is an effective experimental narrative film that interwoven animation with live storytelling. Androgyny reigns as gender roles are flipped and reversed to make a statement on style and personal expression. An unlikely romance blooms when Jordan (Zach Villa), a purse snatching cross dresser artist, meets Morgan (Adriana Mather) a conservative middle class girl, under unusual circumstances.Base on the vast differences of both characters, initial perception predicts that this ill conceived relationship is doomed from the get go. Yet, during the many trials and tribulation both Morgan and Jordan suffer in their own worlds, they manage to keep the "glue" alive and well whenever they met until life throws a curve-ball that will ultimately, and in an untimely manner, turn this love story into a contemporary Romeo & Juliet with many twists in between.In what can be best described as an Annie Lennox kind of wedding, in a very unorthodox way, the couple exchange nuptials with alternative descriptions of their relationship as the ceremony and events succeeding the ceremony trumps traditional vows.This is a very ambitious film that seeks to mix many unrelated themes and stories, and to the fortune of the film, director James Birds succeed at making it all work. The Main actors deliver solid performances in between a series of superlatively artful animation sequences with screen live action visuals to be credited courtesy of cinematographer Stefan Colson.

Poorly written. Timeline and story lines don't make sense.
