Sadly, The Zeros is the sort of film that has come to define too much of independent cinema. It thinks it can pass over some of the basic mechanics of storytelling in favor of a whimsical, quirky tone, but tone can only get you so far.
This movie could use some work, but damn't! I liked it.
The main problem I have with comparisons to David Lynch is that they rarely describe something that actually feels like David Lynch. It was with this in mind that I begrudgingly picked up "The Zeros", a newspaper quote emblazoned on the box cover making that inevitable comparison.
This is a movie that needs a bit of work. This is not a shameful review, of a movie, that, fully-realized, might be wonderful.
This film is amazingly refreshing in its heartfelt and quirky simplicity.Mackenzie Astin is perfect; not being familiar with his work I would say, at face value, that this is his opus.
