Definitely NOT a feel good movie if you're planning for a night in with the ladies, but I promise you won't be disappointed if you are a fan of low budget independent films! The story revolves around an out of work actor (Paul Rudd) whose depression over the way his life has turned out, leads him to film a documentary about his last days before committing suicide.Although I found some of the dialogue a little drawn out and the pacing a little on the slow side, I felt the acting was superb. At times it seemed as though the actors were improving their scenes which made the story more unique to me. Definitely have to give credit to Paul Rudd's performance in this role! (8/10)

One of the hardest things to pull off is a comedy mixed with serious drama. This film does it well. The acting is superb and the story is engaging. Most of the craziness revolves around the main character, who remains steadfast in his resolve to kill himself even as others plot to change his mind or refuse to take him seriously. The actress who plays his girl friend, Rachel, could be the next Halle Berry. Beautiful and talented. Some of the other actors are also deserving of bigger and better roles in the future. This film just came out on DVD-- check it out.In regard to the scene on the beach-- I think his intent is made clear by his statement about the credit cards.

I really loved this movie. Just saw it today at the AFI Film Festival in Hollywood. It's very funny, sweet, and surprisingly emotional. Paul Rudd is excellent in the lead role and the supporting cast are quite good as well.Because this film deals with the Los Angeles film scene, it probably wouldn't be very appealing to a mainstream audience. Also the subject matter is quite dark and a few people walked out of the screening. Ironically, the people who left did so just as the main character suggests that anyone watching his story (he's a frustrated actor making a documentary of his impending suicide) would probably be running for the aisles at this point because people don't like to think about dark subjects like this!I won't reveal the ending, but it was quite suspenseful. If you like offbeat comedies and have any sort of appreciation for caricatures of Hollywood personalities, you would probably enjoy this film.

I am a third-year film student. I recently saw this film at the end of its world premiere run at Rotterdam Film Festival. I was fortunate enough to meet director Sean McGinly, who told me that he cannot expect more than a very limited release for the film. This is unfortunate, but even more of a shock was finding that the current IMDb user rating is a mere 5.7!!I completely fail to understand what is going through the minds of the vast majority of the people who saw the film at Rotterdam. I urge anyone with a taste for intelligent, original filmmaking - that has the power to make you laugh, cry, and feel glad to be alive within the space of half an hour - to watch this film. A film whose satirical nightmare scenario, created by the competitive nature of Hollywood and the desperation that results, is ESSENTIAL viewing for wannabe directors and actors - more compelling than Robert Altman's THE PLAYER, might I suggest - and with twists and turns that recall Frank Capra's IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. I also implore a distributor searching for high-quality, innovative American independent films to contact McGinly immediately!
