    Not my cup-o-tea.

    Quite bad acting from the main guy, boring with bad jokes. I can't understand the stellar reviews from others. 10/10 giving to it looks like others haven't seen other movie than this one. Then again people have a different taste, maybe you'll like it. My wife and I did not.

    PS ok the black guy and old lady were good acts.

    Good Indie Comedy

    Not Great by any stretch but the humor was top notch. The main actor did a good job playing a very real, modern entitled loser. The plot is plain so it relies on the dialogue which is fun- but that's it. Basic Hollywood Rags to Whatever... gets the girl, gets even, no thriller, no twist but slow, don't worry if you need to pee fun... It's like Larry David's son-in-law was given an opportunity and a small bag of money and he hit a two bagger. I liked it but I wish I had my 120 minutes back.

    A film worthy of multiple watchings

    To mention the plot of this cheerful comedy is pointless because - for me - the movie is more about the characters. Each actor brings their role to life and the movie just flows along and leaves you happy.

    This is a must watch for people that enjoy light comedy and oddball characters that you wish you knew in real life!

    Yes, I like this film.

    Real life Characters and Really funny

    As a person that have family members who have suffered through illnesses and horrible family issues. I love the way this movie dealt with those issues, showed the lead female character vulnerability even when she wanted everyone else to think she was not as kind as she really was. I loved that the main male character was funny and showed the progression of a slob, down on his luck guy to a great responsible man at the end of the movie.

    Great job!!!

    • Trivia
      In the beginning interview scene, Rodney (Steve Olson) tells Susan (Kate Flannery) he is interviewing for assistant CEO. She corrects him and says assistant to the CEO. This is an allusion to The Office where Dwight would often say he was assistant regional manager only to be corrected that he was assistant to the regional manager. Flannery played Meredith on The Office.
