Reviews

I can't think of 2 more aggravating and pathetic characters in a film. It's not that the script isn't good/original, because it is.

Mirvish and company, working from Jules Fieffer's long lost script, crafted a smart, funny, and thoughtful film. The camera moves effortlessly in subtle ways, making this dialogue rich script float along.

This film defies gravity, which is kindof a miracle. I was shocked because it's one of the stronger artistic products I've seen by a creator who had been well known for his work in the industry - Mirvish has directed films before, but he's also written helpful books on independent filmmaking and promotion and was a principal at the Slamdance Film Fest.

From a jules Feiffer script kicking around from a long time, we have the story of Bernie and huey, two "adult" males, still waiting to grow up. the story, told with flash backs of their younger selves, is not without charm.
