    Hilariously Quirky
    If you're expecting an A-List Hollywood movie, don't bother. If you're looking to watch a unique and quirky movie with humorously distorted characters- this is it! I was laughing the whole way through at the antics employed by the primary characters. Unfolds a bit more like an on-stage story rather than a screenplay. Some of us can appreciate that! ;)

    Mike O'Connell delivers the slightly abrasive character true to form and Michael Cera's character Mills is lovable.

    While it's intended as a comedy, the core issues the lead struggles with are real (albeit distorted) and engage the viewers empathy if not their sympathy!

    As far as Indie films go, this is one of my new favorites!
