Tod Harrison Williams directs with a sense of humour that never takes cheap shots but isn't overtly reverential to the author, and the playful tone helps make the film entertaining as well as offbeat. Go to Full Review

tommy J Nov 5 They is an eclectic feel to this movie. For a while, my thought was, wow this guy sucks, but then it became, wow I feel sorry for this guy. On Netflix it's called American Loser. See more Martin B Jan 24 Twenty minutes in you realize how bad this is. Stick with it thinking it has to improve yet gets worse. The mystery is why Gretchen Mol’s character would see anything in the guy and why would Gretchen Mol do the movie in the first place. What’s funny about a guy with learning disabilities? How do you make a move the essentially makes fun of a guy that clearly has enormous deficits that can’t even clean a room nor has the slightest clue on how to navigate life because of his disability. Shame on anyone connected with this travesty that set movie making back. See more 09/15/2024 Although I've long found Sean William Scott to be a funny actor, I must confess that my expectations for this film were low from the outset - and yet still, this film was EVEN WORSE than I'd dared to consider possible! It's weird without being cute & quirky &/or even remotely funny...in the end, I gave it an hour & that was more than sufficiently masochistic for my taste, before giving up on it altogether & switching it off! So, do yourself a favour & save yourself the hour-plus of torture that I experienced by avoiding this one altogether...the worst film that I've watched all year, & it's now September of 2024! See more adam b 08/16/2019 Didn't expect to enjoy this bizarre low-budget dark comedy. Sean William Scott usually never disappoints and this is one of the the examples See more 03/20/2019 clever, funny, edgy, sexy. We're all losers and luckily it can be funny to watch. See more 10/14/2017 Unwatchable! I never write reviews but this one I will make an exception on ! I made about 20 min in hoping it would get better . The people who gave this a good review are either blind or lying. See more Read all reviews
