Before you can say "Judd Apatow" we're whisked away into a movie Never-Ever-land of yeah-right romance for going-nowhere guys.

Rated: 2.5/5

Shared Darkness

Spooner unfolds in an alternate, fantasy reality where girls swoon over de-masculinized awkwardness, and its makers additionally assume this is will automatically tickle an audience pink.

The two critics here are off the mark. Spooner is a delightful and sensitive film with some very funny moments thanks to the supporting cast.

Very cliched but I found it had a few good moments. Christopher McDonald seems to play the same role in every movie I have seen him in.

This quirky indie rom-com is poorly cast, poorly directed, and poorly executed all around.
