Though at time generic, Cashback never fails to entertain you to the maximum. It's a really original idea that was executed near perfectly. Even without the romance, Cashback has enough story to enthusiastically enthrall you to the very end. It's got some excellent elements of light humour to support its sometimes heavy themes and also encapsulates you in this in depth character study. However, some may say that the film has a few plot holes in terms of the time stopping to pass time idea, but overall it is very effective in telling an advanced story. A very good, sometimes emotional film, that tugs at the heart strings at times and is very exciting. Probably something that young teenage boys will love, but also something that any film lover can enjoy and will be entertained by.

Started off slow and I almost stopped watching about 15 minutes in...but then it got a bit funny, then it got interesting and before I knew it I was in all the way. Plot line: Without giving it away, the story revolves around a character with a special ability that's been done before, many many times. That said, they did a fantastic job with it. Characters: Sweet, very likable. Nice job of character building and you feel for them. Best part: Purely personal and obviously not for everyone (just letting you know..) but a big part of the story is the complete and utter abundance of strikingly beautiful women (and no, it's not cheap) It works very well. Check it out, it's worth a watch

At first glance, Cashback would appear to be a shameless excuse to show skin. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a reason for the nudity - for the most part. This is not the case for most films.The story was well thought-out, it seems, and I was thoroughly engaged. I was also pleasantly surprised with the acting and the cast. I did not expect much so Cashback far exceeded my expectations. There was good character development and I was intrigued by the main character's ability to pause time in his head and appreciate the beauty around him.One of my favorite scenes was the main character staring at spilled peas on the floor and describing its beauty.I usually release an exasperated sigh when I see a live story in a film because it always seems take on. "Every film needs a love story." I hate film formulae. In Cashback, however, the love story did not seem take on, which was another pleasant surprise.I did not like that some of the nudity was presented in a sexual manner, nor did I like the sexual references because I thought it spoiled the artistic value of the rest of the movie. However, it went with the story. Where other characters found it sexual, the main character found beauty in it so there was a stark contrast.I definitely recommend this film. It was a pure delight.

and I'm glad I didn't. This film is too deep to take away any true meaning from it in a short.At first glance of the Cover Art, I almost turned away because gratuitous nudity was not what I was seeking. I'm just happy that I did not judge the film itself solely on the Cover.Even though I am a Man... I am a Romantic and have always been. I appreciate films that explore the intricacies of the relationships between Men and Women, especially those which delve into the emotions, pain, sorry and happiness experienced by each.While I was initially put off by his undressing the women in the store unknowingly, I had to remind myself that this was merely a fantasy and had more to do with his boredom and Artistic side.The Childish antics of his fellow employees weren't amusing to me however, they also had their purpose in the story and did not take away from it for me.His love for Sharon and how he expressed it through his art was quite touching and a fitting direction for the film to it's conclusion, which was quite touching.Yes, I enjoyed the film... so much so, that I watched it two evenings in a row.
