This movie is kind of confusing in its tone and presentation. It truly seems like the work of amateurs; perhaps a film school project.
The cast seems to consist of first-time actors, led by a completely charmless main character, and I would've dismissed it completely after the first disheartening 10 minutes, if not for the puzzling presence of names like Monica Potter, Lucy Hale, Jim Gaffigan and Rhys Coiro.
Did they owe money or favors to the producers?
The script is a mess, the dialogue clumsy, scenes are long and ambling and poorly edited. The entire pacing of both individual scenes and the movie as a whole seems off. It tries to come off as a sort of quirky unpredictable dark comedy, but it's neither funny nor original, and completely devoid of any charm.
According to IMDb this is the director's feature debut, and honestly: that doesn't surprise me one bit.
