Watched 20 minutes, couldn't take it anymore

Boring as hell.

Have you watched much mumblecore?

Good analysis.

I felt the same way and nearly switched it off... yet it unexpectedly turned into the strangest film I have seen in a long time, dissolving into a mental blend of surrealism

I stuck through the whole thing. I thought it was terrible and boring too. I like mumblecore films and was interested in the premise. I got a few laughs out of some of the odder elements but that's it.

+1 Completely agree.

I couldn't make it past the initial scene with the dull speaker. Never seen a mumblecore film.

This movie is an endurance race, definitely. But the more I watched it the more I got into it. I really liked the little awkward motions they had, because that's how a lot of people are today, obsessed with computers and technology and socially awkward, can't communicate without the use of a device. It's like an origin piece on that. There were some slow, dull parts though, and very weird parts, and the whole mockumentary feel about it didn't seem to fit. I didn't feel like I wasted my time watching it though.
