Craig Quits His Day Job

Funny film that is unapologetic about it's goofiness. The lead actor playing Craig is a mix of Lumbergh and the red stapler guy from Office Space. He cracked me up every time he was on screen.

Witty writing and all around fun. check this out for your late night smoke and drink movie, sit back and have a laugh or three.

How refreshing to stumble upon a light, but heartfelt comedy in this moment in time. Craig Quits His Day Job is an endearing indie with quirky, well-drawn characters. I found the lead actor, Garrett Titlebaum super relatable, with comedy that didn't feel pushed. The whole film has an Office feel, but with its own twists.

Don't go into Craig Quits His Day Job expecting biting workplace satire. What you'll find instead is a very bizarre movie full of eccentric characters, non sequiturs, and absurdist humor. It starts off shaky and takes 10 minutes or so to find its groove, but once Craig leaves the office, this offbeat movie comes together, as Craig is pulled into the harebrained schemes of a wannabe criminal, helps his demented hoarder neighbor fulfill an ancient prophesy, gets recruited by Satanic cultists, and goes on a series of strange encounters and misadventures. Craig Quits His Day Job won't inspire you to leave your cubicle behind, but if you enjoy cult comedies and indie cinema, check it out.

For some reason, the title and brief description caused me to assume that this might be a slapstick comedy, It wasn't that.Neither was it knee slappingly funny.Instead, it was funny in an earnest, charming and unexpected . The guy who quits his job doesn't know what he is in for and neither do we. What we soon find out is all the ways that life and living are full of surprises for those of us who actually spend our days working. We don't have a clue about what we are missing out on. For Craig, it is all inclusive: the good, the bad and the ugly and that is what makes this film unusual and fresh,. There is nothing run of the mill about it and I like that a lot! I apoplaud the filmmakers for holding on to their vision and giving us a little spice of life.

At a glance, the premise seems familiar: a man quits his boring corporate job in hopes of finding some what he's really good at in life. Unfortunately, the titular Craig of "Craig Quits His Day Job" isn't really good at well... anything, and that includes quitting. Thus, we get a slacker comedy about the world's worst slacker which ends up leading to some very oddball, left field humor. Dare I say random? If you're a fan of this brand (Napoleon dynamite anyone?) then you'll enjoy Eric Paul Chapman's piece for sure. What ultimately makes the film work is that Craig is just such a quirky and soft guy, you can't really help but root for him in whatever odd goal he endeavors to achieve. Is there a moral in all this? Who knows and who cares: the laughs are worth it.
