I originally saw this movie listed late at night on cable just thought it was a softcover porn or something. Glad I hit the info button and decided to watch. Didn't know anything about the film or director but really enjoyed the time frame (all in a day) and the taboo subject matter. It wasn't really a mystery but I really liked how the writer slowly peeled away the professional facade of both quirky lead characters as we got to know them (and they got to know each other). It was also refreshing to see a movie tackle sexual subject matter with two leads who had no real interest in the other sexually. That's rare.
I thought maybe Matthew Broadrick was somewhat of a miscast. He was okay, don't get me wrong, but it felt a little like trying too hard to channel Woody Allen. Alice Eve was great and it was nice to see her in a role not exclusively as eye candy. All the characters were slightly weird and entertaining and I really enjoyed the film. I also had minor shoulder surgery recently and have been binging TV and movies, so I found the part with the arm sling hilarious. So true.
