Amazing experience throughout the entire movie, from the beginning to the very end- it is simply brilliant.

This movie is absolutely not about Jake's work as a budding film director and how he sorts out his personal and work life. It is the farcical story of a romance gone wrong from a man's perspective. The film director job is just part of the random background fluff for the real story. This movie is brilliantly funny.

This movie about a music video director's struggles with his love life and the studio execs backing his 1st real film is decent, despite some scenes that don't work and the absence of charismatic actors (apart from Bono); this film is actually directed by a music video director: probably the best thing about the film is the unusual and somewhat surreal narrative, some cool stop-action/sped up urban photography and other slick visual gimmicks...

Esta es una de las tramas mÃ¡s elaboradas que he visto en el cine indy. Es un exposÃ© de los sentimientos de un hombre, y el eterno dilema entre el trabajo y la pareja. Una escena inolvidable de un gato fumando, y un final a mi parecer, totalmente correcto. Muy Buena!!!

Joanou's work has always suffered from excessive style and pretention, and this movie, though more personal than his studio pictures, is no exception.

Becomes the routine tale of a man trying to choose between his work and his love--not quite so 'edgy' and 'hip' as the video box says.
