Being Awesome

A movie men and women can truly appreciate. Appeals to a wide audience. Very realistic.

I can't help but say: best movie ever. No gimmicks, Real life story. Great acting, editing and directing. Great photography. And that on a budget. True dedication to tell a story with no frills and no exageration and be original too.

Very good flow to the individual stories with a creative and realistic way of them all having the same theme. The characters were well developed and had their own personalities. I really enjoyed this film. Lloyd reminded me of Paul Giamatti's character (Miles) from 'Sideways' both in character and physical appearance. I definitely recommend it to those of you browsing through Prime looking for a gem.

We all reach those places in life where we feel stuck, start to question everything we do, and sometimes even who we are. This film is about pushing through those moments and learning to feel awesome again. Highly relatable film, as is all the stuff by this filmmaker. If you like this one, I suggest you check out his other stuff too.

There is a charm to how this acting ensemble tells the story--the story of how friends relate to each other ten years down the road--after the hills, the valleys, the twists, the turns, the curves, the fender-benders, the collisions, the stuck-in-traffic for days, weeks, months or years. A unique sense of humor can bond people, can make or break a friendship. Humor is a coping mechanism we all depend on, like it or not, and Gardner, well aware of this, tells our stories as he tells his own (and those of the other characters.) This pays off in a total lack of pretentiousness, which is why we love these people.
