Jeff M This is an overly slow, overly quirky and overly low-key comedy drama that still manages to be somewhat effective by the end of the movie thanks in large part to two engaging performances by Duplass and Romano. Both play outcasts whose friendship with one another seems to be the extent of their social interactions. They watch kung fu movies, eat pizza and subtly fill the gaps in one another's lives. Their interaction, and the threat of its demise, is what makes the movie work moderately well. Supporting characters pop up every now and then, but none of them are fleshed out - although it is nice to see Hardison show up there (I don't think I've seen him since his DIFFERENT WORLD days). This is a two-man show, and Romano in particular gives a suprisingly good performance. He has really branched out from beyond his sitcom days and with movies like this and THE BIG SICK has proven himself a fine actor. This isn't one of those movies you'll remember next year or even next week, but you could do much, much worse (yes, I'm talking about you HE'S ALL THAT!)

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/24 Full Review Aantler A Even though it was rather dry and made something very serious turn into something comical, I think this movie is a must-see! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/24 Full Review Eric L I watched this movie when it first came out 3-4 years ago. Didn't expect much, but I've probably thought about it more than any other movie since. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/16/23 Full Review Jim S I honestly didn't expect much. I was wrong. A deep and emotional journey. Very powerful! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review Angela O The leads were able to manipulate an incredibly somber subject and extract an unexpected degree of warmth and humor. The thought of holding the reaper hostage in a pink plastic vault is made plausible simply because we choose to agree with Romano that it is possible. So much love is shared, and death never stands a chance of robbing this duo or erasing the joy of lives lived simply in the pursuit of it.
