Bereamic Awesome Movie

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

smatysia This film is quite depressing, not that there's anything wrong with that. Not an enjoyable watch, but I'm sure it wasn't intended to be. A great acting performance by Janeane Garofalo. If my rating was only about her performance it would have been much higher. She has the dramatic chops, especially for someone who came up as a comedienne. She never was really pretty in the classical sense, but I always liked her looks. I really liked her on The Larry Sanders show. She still looks good here. Margaret Cho was fine here, and Bobcat Goldthwaite was suitably repulsive. But I would only recommend this film to fans of Miss Garofalo.

thebronzedragon Okay, it's a good movie, but trying to compare it to other movies not even in it's genre (Meg Ryan movies, for example) is beyond ridiculous. "Oh it's just so cynical!" "Oh it's ever so subversive!" "It's cool because it turns other genres on their ears!" I've heard all the pretentious crap.This is a good, even great movie. Not for any of the pretentious reasons, but for all the conventional ones: it is extremely well written; it is superbly performed; and it explores its subject matter (depresion and suicide) in a fresh but very truthful and unflinching way.This is a movie I would recommend anyone watch, but only because it's a great film, not because it is some film student's idea of an antidote to movies he has been told it isn't "cool" to like.I happen to think "You've Got Mail" is a wonderful movie, and there is room in the universe for BOTH films.My recommendation for this one: most definitely see it, you will enjoy it.

setbro72 Janeane Garofalo stars in this movie as a young woman who answers a personal ad in the paper as a sort of 'last chance'. She meets the man at a café but doesn't tell him who she is right away making for some light hearted fun before things get really interesting. That's already more info than you need. Janeane Garofalo does an amazing job in this movie! This is the best I've ever seen her. Her performance is funny, whimsy, and dark all at the same time. She shows a vulnerability here that I've never seen in her before and it fits her fine. The film has a mystery ending, one that leaves you wondering without giving you many clues and this is one of the few imperfections in this movie. This is a love/compassion search story that's better and more watchable than any that quickly come to mind.

MarquisDD By all rites, this movie should have been crap. Low budget, questionable production values, B-Movie trailers on the video tape, etc.A well developed script delivered by superb actors bootstrapped this movie out of its own mediocrity into something truly substantial. So nice to see a film about manic depression that doesn't sensationalise the disease, shy away from its realities, its highs and lows, and doesn't throw itself a pity party.And then of course there's Janeane Garofalo as lead and film producer who, I imagine, could *sneeze* brilliantly if she wanted to.
