Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

joakimsjohem The story revolves around fellow parking officers Claire and Jay, who find they have a need for one another. She, a shy and good- hearted woman stuck at home with her sick mother. He, a frustrated, bitter loner with an estranged son and seemingly without any friends. The film examines the forming of a complicated romantic relationship between two people who has fallen between the cracks.I was intrigued by the premise of this film starring two very capable actors in Samantha Morton and Jason Patric. Expecting a quirky comedic take on life and love in the lives of two parking officers. And I guess that that's what I got. Only a poorly executed one. Both Morton and Patric performed well above the writing doing what they could with what little they got. To my understanding this was writer/director Cecilia Miniucchis' second feature film and that makes me wonder what she learned from her first go at it with "Normality" (1988). The film has no sense of narrative progression leaving me dissatisfied with the story. In some cases, that's not a problem but rather something positive. In this case however, because of the lack of depth found in the main characters, it's crucial.Expired: ultimately, a waste of time.

dick_lipschitz She must have gotten hold of my registered screenplay 'XPIRED' synopsis somehow or talked to someone. Same film title (almost), same plot, but more of a lame chick flick. I'm am glad she got it made though, The bottom line tells part of the story From BoxOfficeMojo.com TOTAL LIFETIME GROSSES Domestic: $29,796 45.8% + Foreign: $35,207 54.2% = Worldwide: $65,003 So I guess this was an Indie Sundance trial balloon. I might come up with a better one someday that will make some money. I guess the acting was decent enough but was a little too lame to waste time and money to see it and maybe good too watch if you are one of those rainy day depressed moods.

cjaye This movie was absolutely wonderful. At times hard to watch because it was so honest, it had humor, sadness, well rounded characters and was unique. Jason Patric was fantastic, the best performance I've ever seen from him. How he managed to get us to like him even though he was such an awful human being is a testament to his fine acting. I was not as impressed with Samantha Morton's performance but they work off each other so wonderfully and have such chemistry that you can't help but love them together and it works. Illeana Douglas was terrific too... you wonder why you don't see her working more.Just loved it. I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't like this movie other than they just don't get it.

td490 I saw "Expired" in Salt Lake City at a regular theater screening. I simply loved it. I had no idea what to expect but my gut instincts told me to go the minute I read that it was about two parking enforcement officers (what a great premise and original idea!!!) and their unusual love affair. Well, first of all, I would like to say that I think this is Jason Patric at his best. This should be his comeback. His character, even if you may at first think he is not that nice of a person, is so well played. He manages to add so much humor and charm to his role and you do understand why she would put up with him. Samantha Morton is also great. She does so much with so little. All from her inside and so settle! It's a powerful, genuine, frank performance by both of them that carries you through the film in such a wonderful way. This film makes you feel so many things all at once: laugh, cry, sorry, uncomfortable, fun! And how can one not relate? We all have been under the spell of the parking tickets people and we all have been in a somewhat unfair relationship. But I do also think that Expired makes you think a lot and makes you realize that we are the victims of our time, with its loneliness and isolation and that this film pushes us all to go out there and get love! Does anyone know who is distributing this wonderful indie and when? I would love for my family and all my friends to see it.
