CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

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

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

robinsonfeatures Seriously, people involved with the production of films or related to the filmmaker, or indeed the filmmakers themselves really need to stop making a point of leaving positive reviews for their films. There's nothing more ridiculous than to read reviews for a film like Sorry, Thanks claiming it to be funny, truthful, well acted, ground breaking etc when it is very clearly none of these things. The film's described as an unromantic comedy, suggesting that the writer/director wanted the audience to think the film was breaking new ground, sadly it's just like many of the so called mumblecore films where frankly unlikeable and self absorbed post teen college graduates take dead end jobs, begin and and end relationships, whilst talking about random things during random scenes which don't drive the films forward, or add anything to the plots. Or, as in the case of Sorry, Thanks, even have a plot. In Sorry, Thanks the main character, Kira breaks up with her boyfriend, takes a dead end job with a publisher and then starts sleeping with a lot of random guys, including one of her best friends. Max is also in a dead end job that he can't even bothered to turn up on time to do and has a girlfriend who loves him but who he treats rather badly, plus two friends who are equally as hopeless as he is but who regularly accuse him of being an arsehole and a jerk.The equally idiotic Kira never sorts out what job she should be doing, or who she should be with. Max doesn't stop being an arsehole and a jerk but his girlfriend continues to put up with him, even after she discovers that he has cheated on her. At no time is it clear why both Kira and the nice girlfriend are willing to spare the idiot Max the time of day let alone date him, or why Max is so drawn to Kira who does nothing but pull weird faces allthe time. The whole thing could have been adequately covered in a 15 minute short but, in order to bump it up to a feature, we're subjected to endless pointless scenes which add up to nothing at all. if you value your time don't waste it on this.

Weightoftheworld-694-320975 I feel bad giving this film a star because it was honestly the most mundane film I've ever seen. I kept waiting for it to get interesting but it didn't. Every scene was equally as boring, the storyline was loose at best and the "drama" that surrounded consisted mainly of boring dialogue. I felt that most of the characters lacked any depth and there was no on screen chemistry to speak of. There was little emotion attached to any of the actions of the characters and the really simplistic storyline could be summed up in less than 20 minutes as all the other scenes added very little to the main plot, in fact they added very little to anything. For a romantic comedy, it was neither particularly romantic nor particularly funny. I really felt this film lacked anything worth mentioning.

evyw64 I found this movie fascinating. I just happened upon it while flipping through the channels and soon became glued to it. I've watched it twice and have been looking for it to purchase. I loved the character study of the main characters: Max, a guy with loose morals and a questionable conscience; Kira, a girl looking for something more in her life--both romantically as well as professionally; Sarah, Max's loving girlfriend who works at helping heroin-addicted schizophrenics; and assorted pseudo-intellectual friends that attempt to understand and/or support their friends. Max dislikes his job working for a senator and questions his conscience for continuing to do so. He's in a three-year-long relationship with Sarah, a decent, respectable person that apparently loves Max despite his failings. Max seems kind of lost, like he's looking for something in his life, but he doesn't know what. He's just kind of going through the motions in life. Then Max meets Kira, a girl that has just broken up with her long-time boyfriend, and the two hook up. Kira's trying to get a copy editing job, a position for which she is apparently overqualified. She left her job of five years after experiencing frustration at being mistaken for the only other black girl in the office. She seems aimless, restless, searching for something that's missing in her life. She even toys with the idea of moving to Italy for a year. Kira hooks up with a couple more guys, none of whom she's at all interested in.Max and Kira have mutual friends and keep ending up on group dates. Kira learns that Max has a girlfriend when they meet again at a bar where an unsuspecting Sarah buys Kira a drink. Max seems more interested in pursuing either another dalliance or some sort of relationship with Kira than Kira is in hooking up with Max again. They're both looking for something missing in their lives, but unsure of what it is they want. SPOILER ALERT: This has one of the saddest endings I've ever seen. Sarah finds a used condom wrapper in Max's bathroom while hunting for bandages to fix up Max's bike injury. She is obviously extremely hurt and you think she's going to break up with the unsuspecting Max, but she doesn't. She just wipes away her tears and goes in the kitchen to bandage Max's wound. Not revealing her true feelings, she starts discussing the tickets they must purchase to fly to Ohio in two weeks. Sarah reminisces about some event they'd shared with Max's family in the past. She remarks that he was undiplomatic towards his mother and this tells you a lot about what kind of a guy Max is as well as how Sarah feels about him. You know Sarah loves Max unconditionally, the way a mother loves a child. She's going to love him and care for him regardless of his somewhat emotional detachment toward her.

Mike Jennings "Sorry, Thanks" is an independent film that takes place in San Francisco. The story focuses on two main characters, Max, a loser with a dead-end job and no plans, and Kira, an artist who, according to her friends, settles for less than what she's worth. Kira is in a period of transition, having just gotten out of a long relationship and her old job. She is looking for the next step in her life when she decides on a crap job and has a couple of romantic encounters with the incredibly unappealing Max despite his having a girlfriend who loves him dearly and treats him well. The film is a series of scenes which were, for the most part, completely unnecessary to the plot, or repetitive, driving in the point that Max is a lazy bum with no morals and no motivation, such as the scene at the beginning in which his bearded friend gives him a ride and tells him how lazy his, or when he and a group of friends are eating and they tell him that he has no morals. I felt that the first half of the film could have been removed and the plot would have been more concrete and the characters just as understood.This film was not emotionally appealing in any way, it does not come off as comedic as the director seemed to think, and the acting and cinematography were uncomfortable to watch. The idea, from what director Dia Sokol said in a Q and A, was to put together a film displaying a very normal, everyday existence. The characters based on people that she and others involved on the project knew personally in San Francisco and the title is meant to be something so common that one would normally never think about it. To achieve her goal of creating a nondescript environment, she wanted to keep the movie fairly devoid of chemistry or romance, which she certainly achieved, to negative results. The lack of passion from characters and of a conclusion to the abrupt ending leave this film without any particular intrigue. The viewer isn't made to care much about any of the characters and there is no apparent moral. It simply falls flat.
