This is a great little movie and the sort film you don't forget. I have no problem with films like this that want to take you on a bit of a journey, despite the journey being one that nobody in their right mind would choose to go on. The film itself was far more engaging than most of the sludge Hollywood pumps out, so if you like these kind of low-fi documentaries and features about the young and poor, life's oddballs, obsessives, down and outs etc such as American Movie, Slacker, Clerks etc then you'll probably enjoy this. My review doesn't contain enough lines yet so here another one. Hamburger, step-ladder, cardboard box. The End.

This is the closest I have seen a documentary come to reality. It is horribly sad and depressing. Our protagonist is such a loser! The scenes where she is working the machines in the factory really shows the lower end of our working environment. High school kids should have to watch this movie. They might pay a little more attention.

I didn't find this movie boring in the least. I really enjoyed the "middle management" types that he dealt with in each of his jobs. I loved the conversations that occurred between the American Worker and each of his different co-workers at all five jobs. His work ethic was lousy but he was amusing. I am looking forward to seeing "American Movie" as soon as I possibly can.

I caught this film on the independent film channel and found myself immersed in this man's life as he wanders from one dead-end job to another in contemporary America. It is understandable that this is not a movie for everyone as it could be considered slow and tedious, however I think this movie shows that everyone has a story. Everyone's journey through life is not always like Indiana Jones or James Bond. Here we get life...plain and simple with all it's harsh realities.This is obviously not an escapist film but worth watching if you can find it.
