Odd little indie movie within a movie. Felt like a student film. I think it must have been a vanity project. Kept waiting for it to start…
What’s more:
I stumbled upon this and gave it a shot. It would have made a boring one hour tv show. At 90 minutes I was damn near asleep.
There’s nothing wrong with quirky little love stories. This wasn’t one, though. It wasn’t quirky and there was no real love. This just felt like a film student’s first project unexpectedly got financing and populated with real actors.
The casting is near perfect, which is another backhanded compliment. Jay Baruchel & Alexis Bleidel are given nothing to work with but that’s ok, as that’s more or less what they bring with them. It’s like a deadpan delivery contest. I’ve liked each of them separately in other projects before, but putting them together is a non-starter.
