Admirers of Todd Solandz's "Welcome to the Dollhouse" and "Happiness" will be relieved to know that his little-known first feature may not be quite as accomplished or original, but it's very funny, touching, and eminently rewatchable, and it has the special bonus of starring the auteur himself as a lovelorn Beckett-obsessed fledgling playwright (and all-round schnook). Solandz's voice and appearance are pretty extreme -- he's virtually a cartoon in this film, half young Woody Allen, half Bozo the clown -- but his comic timing is impeccable. As his sometime girlfriend, Jill Wisoff is also a marvellously versatile physical comedienne who can look homely and ungainly at times, mysteriously beautiful at others. The music is catchy, esp two tunes written for the film, one sung by Solandz, one by Wisoff. The film also offers an unusually realistic look at downtown New York (and makes use, somewhat less interestingly, of the downtown art scene). I'd put this, without hesitation, on the shelf right beside "Dollhouse" and "Happiness."
