I found the characters in this movie to be a little too unrealistic, and the relationship pretty unbelievable.
Then I decided to ignore that and play the Expired drinking game: Whenever Jay acts like a dick to Claire, you drink!
By the end of the movie, you will have expired.
You'd be lucky if you were still conscious one hour into the movie.
shareBad idea. Someone would die of alcohol poisoning.
shareSadly such people are all too real. I should know - I've been on both sides of the "being a dick" divide, although it is somewhat jarring how little charm Jay has, usually these people have some sort of redeeming feature like charming or intelligent or good in bed, although this never fully compensates for their lack of manners, or indeed a soul.

If you survive then you can watch The Civilization of Maxwell Bright. That will polish off even the most hardened alcoholics.
shareI made it to about 50 minutes into the movie, not playing the drinking game. Probably would have lasted about 30 minutes had I had some booze.
If you love Cheezits and are 100% proud of it make this your signature!share
Thanks, ReasonlsOutToLunch – I was in two minds as to whether to continue to watch this little slice of Dullsville, LA, and saw your comment: pressed STOP and DELETE at 45 mins, stone cold sober and bored by the tedium. Very few movies I do that to but I kinda wish I'd done so earlier <yawn...snooze>.

If you're talking about The Civilization of Max Bright, then I would definitely suggest trying the movie again. The movie does a very powerful turnaround after several disturbing scenes.
shareOMG, I totally thought about that movie while watching Expired. I still physically cringe at the thought of the poker game scene.
shareLove that post twonine - very funny!
A lot funnier than the movie. Having said that I watched this today after reading a review on here and thought I had the wrong movie! The reviewer thought it hilarious and 'cracked up' all the way through. I guess I must have a missing gene....pass the rum 'n coke please....
Such a small love. Such a little tear.
Tried it. Bad idea. Unfortunately, less than halfway through, due to impaired thinking it seemed like a good idea to punch Jay out through the screen. Needless to say, I didn't see the second half.
