4.0 out of 5 stars brilliant idea; surprisingly great movie, January 26, 2007

By	i devour books (SoCal USA) - See all my reviews

While this movie lacks A-list stars, it is surprisingly good comedy! It's a fun movie with the lead character talking to the camera a'la Ferris Bueller. Too bad this didn't get a wide release.

5.0 out of 5 stars A surprising, light-hearted gem, July 16, 2008

By	Book Happy - See all my reviews

I loved this film. Idiosyncratic, light-hearted and whimsical in tone, it was a lot of fun to follow the main character Blake's quest to avoid cliche and make something worthy of his movie/life. The remarkable charm of the lead actor, Jeremy Sisto, sells the film--I couldn't help rooting for the character as he set out to win a "love interest", compete with conventionally successful men, and overcome a "suspicious character". I knew Sisto previously for intelligently played, intense characters with a dark side; I really hope this actor continues to get quality leading roles to showcase his range and talent.

Alongside this storyline, Blake often addresses his audience (us), an entity he can't see but believes in and wishes to entertain and ultimately protect. This last element really intrigued me, because this fun, light film has underlying questions to raise just as Blake is revealed to be a man of depth who is not as insane as he seems. While my date and I watched the movie, we were laughing and smiling. Afterwards, we found ourselves talking about what it means to be a somebody vs. a nobody, fulfilling one's promise by doing something with life, worthiness, conformity, insanity vs. creativity, and settling for less. It particularly spoke to me as an artist, and I liked how, in a fun way, the film challenges the audience to be more than just an audience and to instead imagine that they themselves are the "hero" with their own stories worth telling and worth investment.

My only qualm is that I wished that the DVD offered more extras: deleted scenes and alternate endings that the director mentioned, cast commentaries, etc. It was clearly a film made for love rather than money (the first-rate cast worked for near nothing), and I'd love to see more films with this kind of originality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Good Movie, December 7, 2008

A film that makes you conscious of the structure of all films (after all, aren't all movies the same?). That's probably why some people gave negative reviews: people don't like to be conscious that they're watching a movie when they're watching a movie, living life unconsciously maybe. As another reviewer mentioned, we do have an audience in front of which we live life. Well, all you can do is give this one a try...
