Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

sol- Having recently graduated college without any useful real world skills or training, a young woman gravitates between various friends while trying to secure a meaningful job and long term boyfriend in this independent American drama. The film starts off fairly well with her struggle to with what to do with her life after college resonating, especially as her friends express envy for her spontaneous lifestyle when what she really craves is direction and order. This early potential is, however, never maximized as the film mostly consists of awkward conversations between lead actress Kate Dollenmayer and her friends with a lot of whiny complaining. The uncertainty facing Dollenmayer might be heartfelt, but her lack of ambition and unwillingness to take charge of her life renders it incredibly hard to relate to her first world problems. To be fair, bits and pieces of the tale are memorable, like an experiment involving sitting on laps and Dollenmayer talking to the sister of the boy she wants to go out with, unaware that he is listening in the background, but the high points are few and far between with the film concluding in an unsatisfying abrupt manner. The supporting cast here are pretty decent (given that most were first time actors) and some of the dialogue occasionally hits home, but this is still mostly just a series of awkward filmed conversations at the end of the day.

rtk-2 If this film really won an Independent Film award it doesn't say much for our directing talent out there. There is not point to the movie and hence no point watching it. I guess one can read some significance into the meaninglessness of post-college life in the US but this would be doing the director an undeserved favour.Even if one were to accept that he was shooting a low budget movie with no plot and no script what I cannot understand is why the directing was so poor, why create an impression that we were watching a home movie with shaky hands and bad background lighting? Surely, even secondary school students' work is better than this. It appears that this was simply a private joke and someone released it publicly by mistake. However, it still doesn't explain the award.

sirel-1 I actually won this movie in a Landmark Theatre contest while living in New Orleans. I picked it up that Saturday before hurricane Katrina hit, with the thinking that I could have something cool to watch once I arrived at my evacuation destination. I have to agree with everything that(n1572v@aol.com) commented on. If I would have known, I would have spent more time gathering more of my valuables. I could have filmed my backyard where the only activity would have been birds and squirrels running around and THAT would have been a bit more interesting than this movie. Sorry, that's 85 minutes of my life I can never retrieve. If anything, they've found a method that defies spoiling. There is absolutely no way to spoil this movie, so kudos on that one. It's just a snippet of life.

nv-11 I Love Indy films and foreign films. I do appreciate their quirkiness and non-mainstream story/filming. This is not one I would run out and purchase for my video library and invite everyone over to watch it over and over. It drags on and on where no one can articulate anything, not even a clear thought. Maybe that is funny? or haha on me. It has the premise of figuring out life day in and day out post college pre-marriage. Hum-drum. Others have done this and perfected this like Larry David but he is funny and Woody Allen as he is not only funny but clever. Both of these self-visualization directors have a resolve at the end. This movie misses the mark on all. It was like watching a home movie- so many parts of the scenes were hard to visualize or focus on (too much close-up not that the movie was "out of focus"). Now that was interesting as the filming technique parallels each characters' life. Though that may not be the depth this director was going for. If the US Open Tennis finals are on the TV and this is too, watch the tennis. It has humor, drama, real life and a resolve.
