I really liked the first part but after that it really starts to become ... nothing.

I see this film as an interesting spin on the 'best friends for life' direction. Hewlett and Miller have good on-screen interaction and their characters really bounce well off each other. I agree the plot could be seen as very flat, it does seem like it takes a while to move from one point to another but strangely it suits this amble through the laid back plot. Don't expect to understand what's happening, it's not a film about understanding vast complexities, such as the aforementioned Cube or Primer, but stands as a general story of confusion and friendship. Logical details are overlooked most of the time, which can be frustrating when you want to understand aspects of the plot more, but these things don't really need explanation in the grand scheme of the film. It would, however, have been better to see more focused points of conflict to give the viewer a greater idea of where the plot is headed, the ambiguity of the direction it takes did tire after a short time.As a fan of other films Hewlett has been in, I appreciate his style of acting in Nothing, this seemed to be a perfectly feasible character for him to be, though I do still believe the nihilist Hewlett is most entertaining. I can't recall having seen Miller in anything else, however I will be looking out for his name in features to come.Worth a watch, nothing mega special but a fun experience.

I chanced upon this movie because I had a free non-new release from Blockbuster and needed to grab something quickly, as the store was getting ready to close for the evening. The plain white cover and title intrigued me. I'm a (relatively speaking) "old" lady and my son is a young man of 30. I adore movies that are sheer entertainment, such as The Sixth Sense, Interview With A Vampire, Harry Potter and Beetlejuice. My son, on the other hand, is a film graduate and enjoys very specialized foreign films, such as those directed by Bergman or Hertzog. We generally hate each other's movie choices, HOWEVER, we both watched and LOVED the movie NOTHING! It was unlike any movie we'd ever seen before. We're both cynical/critical personality types and we usually crack on movies while we watch them -- but in this case we just laughed and enjoyed the film from start to finish. It is our opinion that if this movie had been promoted and shown in the main stream theaters in the U.S. it would have done very well indeed.

I love this movie. My friend Marcus and I were browsing the local Hastings because we had an urge to rent something we had never seen before and stumbled across this fine film. We had no idea what it was going to be about, but it turned out spectacular. 2 thumbs up. I liked how the film was shot, and the actors were very funny. If you are are looking for a funny movie that also makes you think I highly suggest you quickly run to your local video store and find this movie. I would tell you some of my favorite parts but that might ruin the film for you so I won't. This movie is definitely on my top 10 list of good movies. Do you really think Nothing is bouncy?
