Do not watch this movie. It is pretentious, and nonsensical, and only got made because the writer/directer is an NYU film professor, which is sad considering how much money kids are spending on Film School. Let's hope he's a better teacher, than he is a filmmaker.
shareI have to agree at the maudlin state of this film. While it presents a superior cast, the story, dialogue, and general tempo is staggeringly slow and does nothing to engage with the audience. The actors exchange questions with questions in a neverending series of bland deliveries. The film reeks of student film project and one wonders if James Franco is enjoining himself to such kinds of exercises because he's pursuing a doctorate degree. If so, I'd give the film a solid C+ and no more. At the Ph.D. level, a C is the worst grade possible. This film is one of the worst.

Worst 'worst movie ever' post ever.

Have to agree, pretentious, silly and boring. Just downright ridiculous. I went to bed 1/3rd of the way in. My husband watched the whole thing. He said it was ridiculous. Never went anywhere. How do people get funding for these awful films? Why not help the rest of us out who have a way better idea(s). Just sayin....
shareDefinutely a suckfest. Watched it last night, and am still upset that I'll never get that hour and a half of my life back. I can't even imagine who had the poor taste to fund this awful movie. Waldimore couldn't be more correct...surely there are better ideas for movies that could use funding while NOT wasting viewers' time. Partly my fault, I guess...I just keot waiting for the good part. Should have given up 1/3 of the way in, like a previous poster. I just never learn.

If you do not relate to the characters you may find the quietude overbearing (just a bit). But,if you do, then... you will focus on something else. It's a film I'd see again and I recommend it to someone who does not indentify with anything in general :). It is not a genre flick.
shareCouldn't.agree more.
