#11#, story, (reviews), P Rudd

paul rudd is great and it does capture the time well, it just didnt capture my attention like i wished it would. it drags on at times, and can be uneventful, but for the most part it's a good movie with a great ending.

This film feels gritty, and real, and all that good stuff. There was never a false moment. I have no clue why this is classified as a Comedy, since it 'aint that funny. However, as a Drama, it's quite effective. It's kind of a combination of a coming of age story and a midlife crisis story, and it really works. It's probably worth seeing just to see how good of an actor Paul Rudd really is.

Paul Rudd gives a great performance here, as does Marino himself. Lauren Ambrose, though, seems lost and confused in her role, even though she's usually one of my favorite actresses. Still, the emotional undertones ring clear, and it's definitely a film worth seeing.

I like that Paul Rudd enjoys doing these low budget indies. Big props to Ken Marino on script and his acting.
