Beautiful, moving film.
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
I have to be honest, I really wasn't expecting much out of this film, I mean, Stiffler in a serious role? but wow was I pleasantly surprised, pleased as punch I would almost say. A truly heartfelt film, you get the sense the writer/director genuinely felt for his subject, which from what I have read about this film is really based on a true story which makes it even more funny in my opinion. The stuff in this movie is so funny it could not have been made up! Really well done with the writing and directing and I think it was the writer/directors debut film? which to me is even more impressive. Some of the scenes had me rolling on the floor with laughter, all in all well worth seeing, great, original and heartfelt, I really look forward to seeing more from this writer/director and I heard a rumor he plays the banjo!
When I first saw this movie on IMDb I taught that it is surely going to be a shallow comic-drama with a nice faced actor. It started in that way too. But when I first saw the way the movie was going I started to feel sorry for Jeff. It does get boring from time to time (that's one minus star) and as much you feel sorry for the guy he starts to annoy you (another one). The plot seems quite unique and it also is a very hard theme for a movie so the director and the writing staff did a very good job. On the other side it could be done better.The final verdict is very positive. I must say that I have never seen Seann Williiam Scott in a similar role and he has proved that he is a very good actor he is definitely one of the pros of this movie. This movie gives you something to think about. I strongly recommend you watch it!
I am a great fan of Seann William Scott , And this movie has proved that he can do different kinds of role effortlessly the story was Excellent as it is based of real life It was a comedy cum drama based movie role played by Gretchen mol of Lynn was excellent it was simple and effective movie seann started as a comic actor now he is doing good movies , especially film like southland tales and train-wreck my life as an idiot . film was a bit slow Jeff(seann) was at it's best certainly it is one of his greatest movie ,inspite of a bit slow it was not too long just one an half hours , in this movie Jeff is person suffering from many mental sickness how he try to overcome with this situation is shown in this movie it is great work by every one
I saw this film at SIFF last night with my g/f and her mother.I didn't research the film at all, just looked at the description and gave it a go. So when the opening credits said it was a true story, i thought it was a joke. It wasn't.The movie itself moves along very well and the main character pushes the plot along with his "sharing" sessions in various 12-step meetings. He is ADD, alcoholic (recovering), has tourettes, and badly needs to be "liked". He can't keep a job and depends on his "Mommy" for emotional and financial support. Wholly self-absorbed, he is yet charming and innocent.There is a love interest in the plot, but it really doesn't come off as one of those forced Hollywood sub-plots added for mass appeal. The male and female leads are impressive, as is the whole cast (many recognizable actors). Not predictable, and as I learned after the film... even the most ridiculous events were indeed factual.I'd hate to compare this movie to anything, but I can't help but thinking of American Splendor (or Crumb). It's not quite as docu-drama as either of those two films, but the character (in real life and on screen) has very similar eccentricities.Don't know if it will be released nationwide, but will definitely be in the DVD (ugh) cult film section of your video store one day.
