Absolutely Brilliant Top-to-Bottom

There is so much here to praise, where to begin?

Writing the equal of Woody Allen’s sharpest urbanity. Story woven with understory interleaved with back-story. Non-stop desert-dry humor delivered with cutting but subtle irony. (E.G. the scene in which the subway girl at the Halloween party looks at Felix and says, “Are you always this funny?”.)

Acting so natural it could not have been acting.

Photography and lighting primitive but perfect. Sound quality excellent. Editing expert and effective.

Like a layer of transparent frosting, in nearly every scene the filmmaker smears mockery over the film itself and its characters. And yet, after being immersed in a seemingly non-stop train wreck of sarcasm which eventually mildly sprained my sense of humor, at the final scene I cried.

Reality TV wishes it might maybe someday approach this level of authenticity.

I will always cherish this film and those shining talents who created it.

Witty and Hilarious…

I originally rented this film because I am a big Anna Sciorra fan, and was extremely disappointed that she had such a small role. But believe it or not, this simple little film includes some of the wittiest and funniest scenes/dialogue I have ever seen. You need to watch it a couple of times to pick up on a lot of things, but it is well worth it. Felix’s story about Phillip’s child is as funny as it gets… And the one liners are amazing – seriously, check out this film, and let me know what you think. “Everybody Felix… It’s Felix’s Birthday!” It is spectacular!!!

Funny Stuff

I can’t believe how much I laughed out loud at this movie. The comic energy that they managed to capture is outstanding. I just saw it recently and keep laughing when I remember certain moments- like Justine Bateman’s shifting while the girl is talking about how she “used to love a gay man.” I almost peed myself.
