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.
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Allegra Sloman A solid, bleakly humorous script backed by good direction and an awesome soundtrack make for an enjoyable and (for me) almost painfully true to life film. Adam Stevenson is a neurasthenic social misfit. He's good hearted but kinda wussy. An unpleasant event at work triggers his return to the family home and his parents, who have little emotional connection to him. Adam runs into a trouble-making high school acquaintance, Mac, and after he sees a self-help jackass on TV go on about making lists, Adam decides with Mac's help to relive his life according to a better script than he's been given so far. He makes a list of cool things he wants to do and then, without being too much of a perfectionist about it (the 'Make a Great Movie' scene cracked me up) - he does them.I was about a third of the way through the film before I realized it was Canadian. That's how good it is. Yes, I know that's a backhanded compliment, but a lot of Canadian movies suffer from "I am a very earnest but amateurish labor of love" disease. This is not an amateurish movie.Michael Stasko as Adam and Daniel Wilson as Mac carry the movie ably. This movie deserves better than 4.8 stars. All the bit parts are well cast, and the score is a star in its own right. Recommended for when you want to watch a buddy movie with no car chases or gunfights.
rb1948 I enjoyed the film immensely. I found it to be an entertaining and touching story, with a very complex combination of comedy and poignant everyday problems we all face. The director seemed to have a true understanding of the theme. Kudos to the whole crew!!!! A pleasure to watch after most of the things we see .The filming was wonderful and the actors seemed to have a real rapport. I find it refreshing to see so much talent in the young crew. Very professional. You can tell the true talent of all involved.I hope to see much more from Dot Film . The music seemed to fit the whole theme as well.Very well produced. The two leads were perfectly paired and played off each other in perfect timing. The whole production was very impressive.
Joseph Catalfano A slow, sometimes amusing story about the confusion, disillusionment, and dissatisfaction of a 20-something who moves back home, struggles with an unfulfilling life, etc. One can't help but feel that the whole thing borrows too heavily from other, better films (i.e. Office Space, Napoleon Dynamite). This would be a better film if the acting were better, but then again, the characters are not very interesting as written, so the actors don't have much to work with. The film is simply too ordinary and only slightly amusing to recommend it, but, if you're at this point in your life, you will find a lot to relate to here. Tries to be very droll and Wes Anderson- esquire in its quirkiness, but it all doesn't add up to much, and no one really changes as a result of 90 minutes of film. So few people have voted that I don't think this ever got a wide or noticeable release in either theaters or DVD, which is strange because the production value is above par.
kaasschaaf This movie confuses me, I don't like his friend who is obvious a person with the IQ of a pickle. In the end I got a good feeling about the movie, apart from the rest of the movie witch I watched with great difficulties. His parent's annoy me so damn much that I almost turned off the movie, but this is also because he let those things happen to him. Still I can't understand why he doesn't do what he obvious needs to do.In the end he makes a sudden career move witch I found rather interesting because I can relate to that in my own life but for the rest he is -and I'm sorry to say it- a loser.
