      David Walsh: No, I'm good. Thanks.

      Whisper: Do you wanna fuck?

      David Walsh: You know, that's really sweet, but, uh... I don't think it's a good idea.

      Whisper: You can jerk off on my tits if you want.

      David Walsh: You know, as much as I'd love to, I think I'm gonna pass.

      [stops to open a beer]

    Pretty damn good but falls like a house of cards at the end.
    This movie is really pretty damn good right up until the last 10 minutes where we really spin out into ridiculous attempts to tie up every single plot string in under 10 minutes. The pace at which all the story lines come to an end is jarring to say the least and very unrealistic, improbable and - a gyp.

    But I would recommend this movie because right up until that point it's a fun ride with great chemistry and casting of all the players. Dillon is a bank employee hoping for a raise on his upcoming review and looking forward to marrying his live-in girlfriend. This feels like an indie film but it's a bit too clever clever for it's own good.

    Steve Zahn has some really awesome moments in this movie when he is ripping on everyone within talking distance of his character. His delivery was perfect. You will notice one of the actors from Kids in The Hall fame- his part matches what he is good at, that was an excellent casting choice as well.

    So even though the script fumbles at the end, all the other parts of the movie work well.
