Hello All,I enjoyed this film I saw it when I was in England. The people I was with also liked it, i do not think they got some of the humor but were excited to see Errol Flynn's Grandson in the film. I hope other people rent the film and give it a shot. I wish you all the best. I also recently watched the other film done by these lads, much different then this one but showing very good Range, a bit of a complex plot but great twist, I am looking forward to the Errol Flynn project as well as the Toxic film as well. Great young film makers and it is good to see. I also thought the location of Window Theory was gorgeous almost worth renting just to look at the locations. I understand that this is supposed to be Washington State but is actually in Vancouver, Canada home of the 2010 Olympics have yet to go but is now on the top of my list.

i wouldn't even give it one star out of five. how many movies do you watch where you actually hate the main character? i can't even begin to list the things that were wrong with this movie. why do production companies pick such awful scripts to make a movie with? thousands of scripts are given each year, and of those thousands, around 10% are actually made into movies. can it be that the other 90% were WORSE than 'window theory'? how is that possible. awful script, horrible dialogue, no chemistry between any of the characters, lines are delivered like kids in a bad high school play, the music doesn't fit with any of the scenes, even the wardrobe was terrible! it hurt to force myself to watch the rest of this movie to see if anything was salvageable... but no. no doubt the worst movie i've ever seen. lets hope people don't watch this movie, otherwise these actors will never get work again.

I actually really enjoyed this film, it was a lot deeper than people gave it credit for. It seemed very true to life to me. Friends, girls, the way everyone talked very realistic. Everyone should also keep in mind that this was low budget, it looked absolutely amazing what a great looking film. They obviously know how to make films. They have more to do and I think people who do look deeper are going to enjoy it and see that it is deeper. Ethan I thought was great a joker, who did care just trying to grow up, and people do FAR worse things than him, he just missed his friends, only an idiot would give this movie a 1. It is not going to win an Oscar but who cares. I would even like to see a sequel see what happened to the characters.

After reading the L.A. Times review by Carina whatshername that roasted this thing as sophomoric and ham-handed, I thought I'd give it a try, as she is usually off the mark with her pretentious, Went-To-Film-School-And-Wish-I-Were-A-Director self important ranting. Well, for once she was right. Film school cinematography at best due to uneven lighting and plenty of soft focus that wasn't intentional. Ham-handed the acting truly was. The lead character, Ethan, was an awful stereotype of the prom king who comes home from L.A. for a visit, yet who hasn't grown up. Plus, his falling in and out of a classic Canadian accent, which was a signal of sorts as to why films made in Canada are often so bad, was the least of his acting inabilities. His ex-girlfriend, who is marrying his ex-best friend, was another exercise in casting a beautiful person who has the emotional range of a turtle. The other characters ran the bad movie gamut from stereotypical to annoying. The brainy sidekick who is under his parents thumb in going to med school who needs to break free. The nerd who was strangely played as gay yet pined after girls (who would have been much better played as gay, but then Ethan's pseudo-macho party-boy character would have had to beat him up). The ex-best friend who gets the girl is a joke as well. The attempt here is to portray him as a corporate sellout by having his boss (played one-dimensionally by Paul Johansson of One Tree Hill) show up in town to do some kind of special project with him. He and Ethan don't seem to have ever really liked each other, and you don't really care anyway because both characters are so shallow and annoying you are just hoping for the comet to hit them all and improve the movie. Whoever wrote this at least has the comfort of knowing they can only get better from here talent-wise. As for the ending you ask, well there isn't one. Somewhere in the middle of this disaster, Ethan and the ex-girl of course sleep together, which leads us to believe that they will have an end-of-the-film declaration of love for each other at the wedding. Nope. There is no wedding because there is no end to the film. We just get a shot of the three immature boys walking down the street after a night of drinking. It was an attempt at a deep and meaningful denouement that would reflect a triumph of film-making. You can only imagine how badly it failed.
