Avis à la une
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 am starting to like Jim Cummings. He is like a more neurotic Ed Burns. Impossibly gorgeous but completely flawed.
In this film, he totally nails the obnoxious Hollywood agent thing. You really just want to loathe him as he trainwrecks his way through his seemingly perfect life. But of course, he is only human - a disgusting, overbearing and weak human despite his golden boy facade.
He just can't help himself. If you like the idea of watching a pretty alpha male lose his mind and get what he deserves, this is a decent 90 minutes.
I hope Jackie's résumé was printed on anything but blood clot purple.

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.
