This is what I call a hidden gem


If any movie deserves that attribute, it's this one. I loved it. The actors were all great, especially Ari Graynor (who I haven't even heard of before!). Funny and surprising movie!

I loved the movie also, they were both pretty great... I love Colin Hanks myself.

I felt the same way, i really liked this movie mainly the end, i think is one of the bests endings i ever seen in a movie

Totally agree with you....this movie is awesome! The professional reviewers weren't too kind in their reviews, but I think most of "us" dig it. Ari Graynor.....didn't know much about her before this movie, but now I want to see more of her.

I can understand why a critic would pan this movie. There is nothing particularly special about it. Ari Graynor really sold her character but that isn't enough for to make a critic suggest it to others. However, it had charm which most movies lack. That alone makes it worth seeing but most people only look at the numerical value that a critic gives when choosing a movie to watch.

I agree. The one thing that I don't quite get is why Ari Graynor was listed at about number 32 in the cast listing on IMDb. I think she absolutely carried the movie. I watched the movie on cable and she was not even listed in the guide. What's up with that? Is she on someone's black list?

Loved it, too.

How does a clever movie like this disappear and have such a low rating where te formulaic dreck gets big numbers?
