Love Greg
Watch this movie totally cuz of Greg. It's not his top performance but it's nicely done. In terms of acting a mid life crisis man he did it good. Treasure the chance seeing these actors acted is the key point.
Loved this
So much of any movie depends on a persons mood, attention, ambience, and setting, and I think many of these poorer reviews are misguided. I thought it was very enjoyable. Several laughs, good acting and story. A worthwhile investment of 90 mins or so.
Good intentions but a bore
The set-up is great - a despondent dentist who feels lost because of his broken marriage, he feels like a failed parent, and his dental practice offers no satisfaction - begins to stalk a patient who he sees as the "man with the perfect life". This action becomes a big mistake.
But the path Director/Actor: Greg Kinner takes to tell this story is so full of holes and ridiculous situations the story never reaches it's comic goal and quickly descends into a goofball story trying to make a valuable statement on life.
The Greek persona never becomes remotely convincing.

AWFUL
Quite literally one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I cannot believe I made myself sit through the entire thing. At least now I know what Purgatory is like...
Morbidly disturbing
The story disturbs me a lot. I find it so morbid and so sick that someone would do such a thing. Though part of me long to find out how the story will end, a bigger part of me get repulsed by his inexplicable actions. I can see how the story is interesting to some, it doesn't work for me.
