A social satire about our modern society that produces unsatisfied people by always selling them the next best thing, by convincing everyone they need and deserve more, making those who have everything not even realizing it, leading them to poor choices and often madness.
The main character has a beautiful and devoted fiancee, health and he makes a decent living. But by always searching for more, he starts to loose all of the above, plus himself and his dignity. His sinking is about half-way through when he first appears, which makes you wonder what's wrong with him and allows the movie to be grasping.
Jim Cummings is obviously a big Jim Carrey fan, too obviously in my opinion. It really felt like he was imitating his vision of what would have been Carrey's performance instead of really making it his own, which is actually not that bad but can be frustrating at times. Like his character, he seems to be searching for himself (as an actor) ; maybe there's a subtle message there related to the plot...
The story is too restrained in my opinion, it lacks daring, but still is quite clever and enjoyable.
Overall, even though this movie has its flaws, it's really worth watching.

The main actor is quite good. He's really believable and his final big scene was impressively acted. The movie makes great points but overall it was a little boring and not scary. The ending felt rushed and didn't quite make sense. Will definitely be looking forward to more by Jim Cummings, but this was a one time watch for me.
An overstressed Hollywood agent, a few weeks before his weeding, gets personal invitation for a no hold barrels sexual encounter. The problem is he is blinded and identify the woman he had sex with. He become obsessed with her and the situation and things get out of control.
The movie can be considered as poor people Eyes Wild Shut; but with some comedy moments (and sometimes very annoying).
Jim Cummings, the director, loves the be the annoying/disturbed guy (as he did in the funnier The Wolf of Snow Hollow); perhaps too much . He is still funny but he exceeds his welcome in my opinion.
There some interesting secondary characters; dialogs filled with one liners that requires a lot of attention, several killings and some kind of thriller that (as in Eyes Wide Shut) is barely resolved.
The important theme of the movie is the hypocrisy and desperation that requires to stay afloat in this new ultra technological world. As hard as it seems; Cummings also keep everything on the light smile side instead of the drama.
In brief; it is an interesting concept managed in a very interesting way. Worth a try; but requires attention.

I honestly have no idea what I just watched. It wasn't terrible but it certainly wasn't good. I wasn't bored but I was in no way into it. I knew what was happening, yet I was confused. It wasn't funny but I did laugh a few times.
It started off kinda interesting, with this skeezy, toothy dog. LOL
But, some parts were a bit confusing and the acting was ok, but not great. But it did have a follow-me-down the rabbit hole type mystery to it, that made you wanna see what he would do next.
I don't know about where they got the cheating statistics in the digital age as being LOWER than ever??? I was pretty sure they are Higher Now in past 20 years because of Hand Held Technology (LOL) than they have ever been, with cell phones, and tons of dating and hook-up sites, where you can reach people all over the world, not just the people in close proximity to you, like in the old days. :o I could be wrong, I'll have to look that up.
Overall, I enjoyed watch the main dude FREAKING OUT, and throwing things, and hallucinating. It could have been better, but I think It's worth a 1 time watch if your interested in this genre. ;D.
