Frank and Penelope is not a great movie, but it is a very good one, charming and entertaining and most definitely better than anything big-budget Hollywood is churning out. Filled with B-list actors, and everyone giving it their all, the movie could have used a bit of trimming . Still I was rooting for the 2 leads, who had great chemistry and it was all played to a great soundtrack and shot well. I hate the new woke Hollywood, love well done indies and this is worth a watch.

I really was not expecting much from Frank and Penelope as a serious horror/thriller genre film. Although the film starts off rather mundane, the film gradually builds up steam to what I consider both an effective thriller and with a surprise ending. No spoilers here.

The two main characters Frank (Billy Budinich), and Penelope (Caylee Cowan) are mostly unknown actors but I believe both have garnered significant support from their growing fan base which includes myself now.

The plot has been done hundreds of times before with a dysfunctional group of characters controlling a small town where they go undetected with their dastardly crimes. Coming into this tiny dirt road town in their souped up. American made Dodge Charger are Frank and Penelope who are on the run in a similar fashion as the well known rebels from the.1991 movie thriller Thelma and Louise.

As hard as actor Billy Budinich deserves to be recognized for his character portrayal of a tough guy boyfriend, most of the attention will go to the female lead character Penelope played to perfection by actress Caylee Cowan. Her voice, her swivel hips and pouty lips, but mostly her sex appeal and her sexy baby voice will leave most fans wanting to see and hear more from Penelope.

It becomes a battle of wits and desire to stay alive for Frank and Penelope to get out of this freak town and I found myself rooting for both of them to succeed.

No spoilers here, suffice to say I really enjoyed this horror/thriller film and I give it a most deserving 8 out of 10 IMDb rating.

I look forward to seeing more films from both Billy Budinich and Caylee Cowan.

The film goes in as few directions before it seems to find its way then we get a decent tension filled story line with an excellent ending and a set up for an excellent sequel!! I read a lot of people say the 2 main actors were terrible we disagree their characters are suppose to be a little naive and yet they know they have something special which makes them come off as bad actors. It may have not started out to be a Romantic let's say true romance type film but it ends up that way it has some humor it has a hint of horror it was in our opinion excellent and unique. Also I'm TIRED of hearing how great Tarantino and Scorsese are ....both are EXTREMELY OVERRATED Tarantino would have added anal rape and vulgarity and Scorsese would have added a hour and a half of boring dialogue with 75 year old actors he's been using for 40 fricking years or DICAPRIO!! I'll be SOOOOOO glad when BOTH retire!!! Anyway watch it and stay till the end hopefully well get a sequel I'd like to see where we it goes next!!
