Loved this movie! It's rare to find an indi movie to actually make me laugh. Even though the movie was longer than your average movie, it was entertaining enough to keep my ADHD engaged. So while it's impossible for me to sit through anything, I didn't even get up for the bathroom. I especially thought the ending was hilarious. And the editing and camera work was great work! I think that was some of the best parts. It was so cool to see such excellent work for an independent movie. There are blockbuster movies with less effort than I saw with this movie. I'm showing this too all my film major friends to watch for inspiration and appreciation!

Innocent and light hearted, off beat without taking itself serious, minor continuity questions, but none the less a simple elegant bad day comedy that speaks of a bygone, Stoogesesque day.

David Born and Kathy Garver shine as a long suffering couple. The film hits its notes well.

And director Johnny Ray truly shines as lovelorn Buford probably the best subplot of the entire film.

And let's not for get that this film was shot during the height of the hardest times to meet, and be around folks, and that if not grit, determination, hard work and skill the film would have never been finished.

I'd give it twenty stars or more if I could,

Clean, no skin, no smut, just a fantastic comedy that the whole family can enjoy. A truly funny story of a guy that just keeps having the worse luck. The situational comedy mixed with a great cast gives us a sensational comedy that had the whole theater laughing and clapping. Speaking of cast, Kathy Graver is so funny, but classy and lovely at the same time. David Dorn's performance is spot on and totally nailed the character. And watch for the cameos of Buford, Mr Gibbs totally brought him to life.

If we had more directors like Mr Gibbs, the entertainment industry would not be in such shambles.

I can't understand why this was rated so high unless the ratings are filled with bots or schills. Low budget, bad acting, weak plot, and way too long. My wife and I love classic comedys and we thought we'd give this a try. I wished I'd looked to see that there were only 71 reviews before I started.

This movie is great, when seeking a film experience for what it has to offer! No sexual innuendo or content, no profanity, no political, social otherwise subversive or subliminal messaging! Hard to find in anything made now days. The production wasn't easy as it's independent budget that hard working regular every day people funded. This is a G rated, family fun friendly comedy experience that I feel children will get, teens, adults of any age and even the older generation can identify with. There are older actors that fans can remember from their childhoods. The pilot of the movie is relatable for anyone struggling with everyday problems, especially in this era. This was all about one man's one bad day just trying to make it through to find happiness, I can understand that. Struggles at work. Struggles at home. Struggles from your past. Struggles worrying about your future. Struggles in the drive thru placing an order. Struggling with life's philosophical meanings. Struggle getting in to see a doctor. Struggles with being told we're all the same and equal while a beneficial expectation to others to cut in line because of those same characteristics that give excuses of victimization. Struggle with handling anger and emotional outcry, but all in a humorous, slapstick way calling back to old school filmography. The director does a great job recruiting and cultivating the wide array of talent for this film. He recognizes what people bring to the table in being funny in just every day life. Some of the funniest people, and things that happen in life happen naturally, organically, not stand up comedians or Hollywood writers but, the funny friend or coworker who makes the hours of the day go by so much easier because of your experience with them. That's what this movie brings to the big screen!
