Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Bereamic Awesome Movie

fateslieutenant What a shame this movie was so dull. So many great actors, some doing a terrific job. Chris Eigeman, for example, is a master of this type of intimate, low-budget film which, with far less editing than is seen in slicker productions, is at times closer to theater than to Hollywood; his delivery is natural and his body conveys enough that the extensive cutting it takes to make some actors come alive can be safely dispensed with. For pure fun, the great Peter Bogdanovich spoofs the insider impersonations that are a well-known aspect of his conversation.Sadly, such quality is not the standard. John Lehr starts out painfully over the top as Miles, and Carlos Jacott as Felix is barely believable until the bar scene well into the middle of the film - although he redeems himself with a strong and funny performance in the last ten minutes of the film. The couple whose apartment is the only setting are an unlikeable and unconvincing pair much given to excesses of acting that bring out rather than overcome the weaker points of the script.In fact, unlikeability is at the center of the film: Felix, about whom what little plot there is revolves, is known to all but his 'best friend', Jessie, as a louse; Jessie's wife describes Felix accurately as an asshole. Unfortunately few characters are more sympathetic, and only Eigeman's Fletcher, who rarely appears, is pleasant enough to carry the viewer past the stilted dialogue and melodramatic hamming that are the movie's basic features.

smatysia A really bad movie. I never cracked a smile. I very rarely give a film a rating below 5, (gave this one a 3) not because there are no bad movies, it's just that I don't watch films that I think are going to be bad. I taped this one just because it had Justine Bateman in it, and I had liked some of her stuff on TV. She wasn't bad here, she just had nothing to work with. This one was painful to watch. I wasted 90 minutes, and the cast and crew wasted 6 days. Grade: F

gtown If this were a student film, I would understand, but it's not. The director takes a pseudonym because, well at least I believe, because it's an experiment gone very wrong. I'll make a list1. The lighting, blunt, bullying, washout. It's almost unnerving to watch as if a science fiction.2. No story served with a never ending plate of hit or miss bon mots. I call it self-indulgent. I won't lie to you and say there aren't flashes of wit and charm... there are, but I find that this film is very much like what it shows: a person who tries too hard and has you cornered at a party.3. The set... it's soooo dark. Why? Do you want me to have a nervous breakdown instead of laughing which is the intent I assume.4. Noah Bambaugh has made me laugh a lot in his other films. All the while, I felt that he had the potential to go off the rails into the realm of pretentiousness, banal, insufferable New York upper east/west side intellectual hipster dreck. In the previous films he created memorable, earnest characters and a plot. Not this time... without story you are left with nothing.

bukp After eight years of working in the film industry and a life time of watching them, I've finally found the worst film to date. This movie was horrible for a multitude a reasons. I've checked the directors background and saw that is was not his first. This came as a surprise to me considering the number of amature mistakes that I found, just after the first couple minutes. Not only was the lighting, acting, (outside of Eric Stoltz) and story line well below sub par, but the set was one of the worst dressed sets that I've ever seen. You might think that I'm nit picking a bit, but then again isn't that saying something within itself.
