Craig Quits His Day Job

Craig Quits His Day Job is about, well, a guy named Craig who quits his day job. Aptly titled haha. The film is a quirky comedy that follows the somewhat dorky Craig after he surprisingly quits his job and even gets ridiculed for it by his boss who calls him a "lifer" who will come crawling back by the end of the week. Craig is determined though and decides to unite the quitters around his neighborhood. The premise is a good setup for Craig to interact with a wide variety of funny eccentric characters -- the ones you'd expect have nothing else going on during business hours and who might be interested in joining a quitters group. The film is ultimately a fun, quirky, over-the-top comedy that is quite enjoyable. I'm continually on the lookout for good comedies to watch and I'd highly recommend Craig Quits His Day Job to anyone looking for the same.

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.

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.

A charming light comedy featuring a kooky bunch of misfits that you will warm to immediately. Refreshing to see an American comedy not set in the typical Hollywood milieu. Fresh and unexpected.
