Song of Back and Neck

I wanted to watch a movie starring Paul Lieberstein solely because I was so tired of watching his character beeing bullied by Michael in The Office and wanted to finally see something good happen to this man.

All creds to Paul for his work both on The Office and this movie!

Good performances by all the cast. Great dialog and the humor is off catching and eloquent. An adventure in growth with big laughs and with an introspective flair.

Seriously, I could watch this movie over and over...so clever and unique while still highly relatable. Paul Lieberstein does funny and heartwarming equally well and that really has a chance to shine here. Definitely has some laughs but above all it's just a really touching and inspiring reminder of the importance of self-love above all others.

I dont understand, this guy is not likable, his back can sing and the movie never really does anything with it, and the ending is awful. This dude straight up gets nothing at the end of this movie, I say there for what seemed like 1000000 hours just to see the main character get nowhere and in worse shape than when he started the movie. There is not a single likable character in this and I dont understand the point of this "movie"

I didn't know what to expect from this indie with the strange title, which I found at my local library. There's a mixed bag here, as I see it, with some of the dark absurd humor working effectively while more often than not it's too awkward, even annoying at times, and falls quite flat.

Paul Lieberstein, who has extensive TV credentials such as The Office, stars here and makes his big screen debut as writer and director as well. I thought the best parts of this movie were his interplay with the fine actress Rosemarie DeWitt.

Overall. there were some things to like here but not enough to sustain an enjoyable film, but I would be interested to see what else Lieberstein brings to the screen.

To note: there were no subtitles on my DVD copy but I was able to access them through the closed caption option on my remote.
