I just caught this on netflix on demand and I had never heard of it. It was really good! Great cast, great soundtrack and a nice little story too.

Yeah, I just happened upon it in the 99 cent section at Blockbuster because I had a coupon for a free rental. Glad I picked it.

caught it by chance on showtime at a hotel last weekend. couldn't finish it then but had to get it as soon as we were back from the trip. really enjoyed it too.

I agree.. a very unusual subject matter, very funny and thought-provoking.

I agree, I was pleasantly surprised by it. It's not Fight Club or Deer Hunter, but I enjoyed it a lot.
Very entertaining.

Watched it on netflix too but I don't consider it a "hidden gem". More like a swing and a miss. Good idea and I love Winona Ryder, but overall the movie doesn't work. The lead actor doesn't work for me and the whole documentary camera part is really ruining it, annoying and already been done to death. Good idea but poor execution.
