Audience Member if i could give this movie a zero, i would. i don't understand what is going on, i don't know what real, i don't know what's not. nothing is clear. this movie is garbage. i love lizzie kaplan but good god does this movie suck. and i just cannot stress this enough, what is going on? truthfully. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I went into this one hoping to like it as much as something like Roger Dodger, which also starred Campbell Scott, but what we ultimately get is an okay character study of two roommates who let a writer struggling with writer's block stay with hem in exchange for tutoring and occasional sex, as things turn out. It's an okay watch, but more often than not feels like large chunks of it are just writer's exercises instead of anything happening with our characters. Rental. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Not quite as good as either, but felt very much along the lines of <a href="http://www.flixster.com/movie/adaptation/">Adaptation</a> and <a href="http://www.flixster.com/movie/stranger-than-fiction/">Stranger than Fiction</a>. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member I skipped through the chapters of this movie. It was slow and ridiculous, but for some reason I wanted to know how it ended. Even the ending was disappointing - what a waste of time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Thought provoking. I loved getting into the head of a writer! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member What a waste of Izabella and Lizzy Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
