Orson Welles is the standout in this film and is the only reason to see it. He sits in the "cheap seats" in an almost empty theater and spouts off some great wisdom about life and sex and movies, and just about everything. If you are an Orson Welles fan this is something to check out, to watch a few times for his final bow. Jaglom on the other hand is a bit pretentious (he tries to be very deep-cute like the sensitive guys of the seventies and eighties, Alan Alda, etc); in other words, everything else that isn't Orson Welles is sort of a navel-diving-exercise that falls flat after a while. None of the other participants (Jaglom invited a bunch of lonely people to describe why they would be alone on Valentine's day, which was a week away) have anything deep or worthy to say about why they are alone or about life, etc. Jaglom's real life brother Michael Emil plays the "villain", that is, he is an non-artistic businessman who thinks the theater full of people are just whiners, and I agreed with him most of the time. But Orson alone makes this movie worthy. Or at least, somewhat interesting.
