Found completely by accident but my goodness this film is wonderful. Only 85 minutes long but worth every second of my time. Daniels is brilliant.
This is a film where two people keep talking and talking. It seems like they never stop talking. It meanders until the final few minutes, when the conversation becomes meaningful. It may be an artistically accomplished film, but it's not for me.
Too bad this movie is so unknown and difficult to get hold of, because it honestly is TRUE to LIFE, with GREAT acting performances and a touching, witty story. It is beyond me, why this movie has gotten so little attention, although I read it was due to judicial corporate reasons. Sometimes movies simply fall victim of a bad release and lots of judicial corporate shenanigans. This is one of those unfortunate stories, but hold your horses, because this is definitely still a great gem.
For anyone who loved Jeff Daniels in the past or simply wants to see a true to life comedy about a looser, this is the perfect (unknown) gem for you!

This is a play, my friends. So enjoy it as such and you won't be disappointed at all. Jeff Daniels is, of course, brilliant. And newcomer Thomas Macias matches him set per set. WOW! It's fast and furious in word volley. The payoff is at the end when you find out exactly what .............. well I can't tell you, you'll just have to watch it yourself.
In the mood to watch something different? Like a play really. My thoughts on it? When the teacher is ready, the teacher will appear. Who do you think was the teacher? . Who do you think was the student? We watched on Kanopy app via our Library card. Jeff Daniels, mind blowing soliloquy near the end. Keep going through the slow middle. This review box requires six hundred characters in order to be posted. I already said all I have to say about it without overstating my opinion, and giving spoilers, which I despise. So I am rambling on until I reach the required six hundred characters Are met. I'm intrigued to seeing if anyone watches it after saying this comment.... peace out.
