LOVE SICKJul 13, 2009
WOW!!!! Cirque du Soleil went adult only!! It took me on a journey I would have never gone alone! I sensed from the preview it was risqué, but...... Oh my, oh my! Now I must hide "Love Sick" in the family room. I can appreciate the courage of the directors, artist in bolding stepping out of the traditional box. Of course, Cirque du Soleil is not traditional in any sense. Your gifts of imagination and interpretation have always been amazing, beautiful, thrilling, motivational, funny and dramatic to name a few! I love you Cirque du Soleil and will always remain your fan!
 You have to go too far... to know what too far is.Feb 12, 2008
It's true that Love is Sick. I bought this DVD knowing it was a documentary INSPIRED by Zumanity and not about the other Cirque DVD's. I thought it was brilliant in it's back stage real life drama from creation to it's performers. I liked knowing little things like the fact that Joey the Emcee was asked not to use the F-word so much yet it's used all the time by so many of the comedians at most adult shows in Vegas and in the real NYC. I also liked the fact that not everyone knew what to expect from the creators from the beginning. I'm glad it went behind the scenes of one of the most controversial Vegas shows to remind us it's hard f-in work.
The show now has changed from what you see in the film. Joey and a few others are no longer under contract now so it's premise has taken a much milder tone, but is still for adults. I mean there are no men kissing each other (too bad) so the gay theme is mild to the extent they do have a new drag Emcee and she is not as vibrant as Joey. There is t&a but it's without controversy.
So anyway, buy the F-in DVD! Meanwhile, the show F-in needs to take a few steps forward and push itself closer to the edge... again.

 Interesting life of CirqueMar 28, 2007
I thoroughly enjoyed this backstage tour, so to speak, however it left me wanting to see more of the show. I guess they want you to buy tickets! There were too many repeat shots, however, the edting made for an intersting programme. If you saw Fire Within, the making of Varekai you;ll enjoy this.Cirque du Soleil - Fire Within / Varekai
 Dull, disjointed and disappointingMar 05, 2007
One can't judge this documentary against the merits or lack thereof of the Vegas Cirque de Soleil show, but it is fair to require that this expensive documentary do more than simply present a MTV montage of images to reflect the "real story behind the story" of the making of the show. The shots inside the cars are dull and look like HBO's Confessions to a Taxicab Driver. The actual footage of rehearsals and presentation of the show are done with thousands of one second montaged shots that makes viewing this as anything but erotic or tense or dramatic. This type of topic deserved a much better movie. There really is no drama to its telling of the story, and there is nothing compelling or interesting in the way the movie follows the lives of the ones involved - especially disappointing since although the transvestite is the one most followed and examined, there appears to be far better stories involving the Catholic ballerina and the woman whose fiance is in Canada. Dull, and confusing.

 Shred-WorthyNov 29, 2006
I must say that this DVD seriously disappointed me. I absolutely hated it. I heard that Zumanity was a more "adult" show. I figured that maybe the costumes would have a little less fabric, and that the show would be more sexual than other shows. But I figured that it was the Cirque, even if the above were true, at least it would be done tastefully. I NEVER expected to see what I saw. I was so extremely disappointed. Not just with the DVD, but also with Cirque.
This DVD is the behind the scenes beginning of the show. But I still saw more T&A than I expected to see. (And the actors were told that they were playing it too sae and needed to show more.) And it was not done tastefully. I truely think that a strip joint would have more class than this show does. I'm not one that is easily offended, but I couldn't even finish watching the dvd. It was absolutely terrible. I'm tempted to send it through the cd shredder.
I'm just glad I bought the video before wasting money on a trip to see the show.
