Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

minhongyu If you are a PhD student, especially a senior one, definitely watch it!I gave it 9 out of 10 just because those actors and actresses are not professional ones which makes this less moviey. But the story line tells the true life and the true miserable life in graduate school. You will feel it if you are in the same position. It's now my last year (hopefully if I can find a job) in graduate school and I think all of us should consider finding a job and getting a real life at the earliest stage of our grad school.It makes me cry at the end. Find your own life while "enjoy" you graduate school. So, quote two sentences in the movie: How's your research? How's your thesis?

FlorisV This is enjoyable for an audience a lot larger than just students. I have read the web comics for many years and think they have a universal appeal. This film is equally charming. OK the film didn't really surprise me in some ways since I already knew all the jokes from the comics...but the production was far more professional and polished than I expected. The actors are all good, only one I thought could be casted better is Cecilia, not that she's bad but the actress looks and acts too much like a happy-go-lucky surfer girl, not as nerdy as the Cecilia from the comic books.Tajel is a great choice as is Mike Slackenerny and Winston (the nameless student). Would love to see this become a TV show. Or at least see more of these 3 talented actors!The film could be longer but does in a nutshell tell it all (life procrastinates in grad school) and it doesn't shove it's puns in your face...

morcego I was never a grad student, and I love it. OK, I was pretty much raised inside a college (both parents are professors), and I worked at an university, so life as depicted on this movie is something I'm familiar with. That being said, I was pretty impressed by the overall production quality of this movie. It is an indie movie with amateur actors, and it is still better than most Direct-to-TV movies you will find. The fact that most actors are actually grad students gives them a glint in the eye, and you can sense they are relating to those situations.If you ever been to an university, or any place that mixes research and teaching, this is a movie you just must see.

CHAO LIU Just saw the premier at LSU tonight. I must say this movie reaches so many PhD students' heart, as it describes the exact problems that an average PhD student is going through somehow on a daily basis. Many of the lines borrowed from phdcomics.com are blended perfectly into the movie, making it an instant classic. If this movie was made by armature students, then true kudos to all people involved! Sadly this movie will never become popular in the main stream, since the grad students community is so under- presented that they are probably the only group of people who'll understand this movie. We were supposed to be the smartest people coming out of high schools and colleges, how then did we end up here? Puzzling.
