This is the best film yet from the sarcastic and cynical Bob Byington. He always references bis mother Mary Byington, not in complimentary terms. Other winners are Frances Ferguson, Registered Sex Offender and Olympia.
It is 10 pm and just the thing if I can find someone to conjugate with while enjoying this wry comedy.
I will then watch those other films: Frances Ferguson, Registered Sex Offender and Olympia.
If this doesn't put me to sleep, I will watch 'Sabrina, 'Charade', The River Runs Through It, 'What is eating Gilbert Grape', 'Lion' and back to 'Infinity Baby' and 'Charade'. That should do it.

In terrific indie dark-comedy "Lousy Carter" titular literature professor David Krumholtz (excellent) reacts in philosophic, amusing & cynical ways to being diagnosed with 6 months to live - via interactions with characters like student Luxy Banner (great - on her debut), shrink Stephen Root, ex-gf Olivia Thirlby, boss Randy E Aguebor, & colleague Martin Starr (and his wife Jocelyn DeBoer). All performances are delivered with delicious dead-pan bite, to the credit of director Bob Byington who also wrote its cutting & effective script. At 1hr 20mins it's not the most substantial movie, and it won't excite adrenaline junkies, but it's still highly enjoyable. Good stuff.
A surprising reminder of how not boring it can be to watch two people in a room talking. This is a deadpan, relentless, unexpected, quirk bomb of would-be emotion. Carter feels like a real person, a real person who seems to have very little grasp on his affect on other people, for better and much much worse. It's sadness without tears, lust without sex, love without declarations - and I mean that as a compliment.
I haven't met the minimum character requirement in order to post a review...but lousy carter certainly met the minimum character requirement for a movie, and beyond. Great cast, solid flick.

The movie is centered around an apathetic character, and that is exactly the feeling it evokes.
I don't feel bad about watching it, but I also don't feel like I gained much, if anything.
The main character of the movie is the epitome of watching your life go by you, indifferent to how and when it will end and what you'll leave behind. In a way, all the supporting characters also feel the same way about him - just as indifferent to his existence as he is himself.
I wouldn't really classify it as a comedy. However, there is entertainment to be had if you enjoy cynical/dry humor and making fun of the absurdity of life.

Wasn't too sure what this movie was when I started watching but was quickly drawn in.
The acting, especially by the main actor, was really enjoyable and in the end I found myself wanting for more.
Really well acted with, granted, a somewhat predictable plot.
Worth a watch for sure.

Lousy Carter: No one wants to see a movie about a pedophile creeping on a young girl.
Gail: Probably true.
- Crazy CreditsThe end credits pause after the cast rolls. There is a scene where Dick Anthony talks to his fellow sentence-mates in a therapy setting and seems to be processing the trauma well.
