In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
View MoreIt is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
View MoreIt's so nice to see a film that genuinely has a lot of heart and wit but isn't mushy or terminally quirky! I can't imagine how anyone could dislike this film, unless they miss mind-numbing sit-com exploitation. The characters are real and likable, and they are seen living in the world that surrounds them, as well as their own lives, which in this case are dominated by work and status. There's really no other film like this (maybe that's why it has such a low rating? How people love to cling to their formula movies - sigh!). It's not a "great" film, but it's as wonderful as spending an evening with friends who you know are genuine, and are great fun to be with. And hey, Philip Seymour Hoffman is in it. What more is there to say?
View MoreQuirky, low-budget film that I first saw at a small film festival. Although the script sometimes descends to cliches, this film skillfully contrasts the sometimes-empty life of an agent with that of his clients, his friends, and his love interest. The "B" story line of Joey Breaker's involvement in a worthy cause was predictable, though well-handled. Worth a look if one's taste tends toward the offbeat. More mature than the film "Zebrahead" which also addressed interracial love and its challenges.
