Probably not good for people expecting holliwood traditional films. I enjoyed it too much

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.

This was a very pleasant surprise. Great group of actors, all performing well. Kinnear is always good but really excelled this time. The writing was good and the story really kept our interest. Serious but with moments of humor. A very adult movie but, thank heavens, not spoiled by the inclusion of bedroom action or filthy dialogue. And no smoking either! .

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.

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.
