Spent

Christ I wish I could give this turd a -10 star.

I can't even...

I'll say it like this, "The Room" has oscar quality acting when compared to this abomination. I "spent" most of this abortion cringing in its awfulness. Ewe Boll would call this thing a disgrace to the art of movie making.

Avoid watching this thing, it's sheer awfulness could give you cancer.

If you're a fan of dark comedies, but you're also in the mood for some lighter fare, Spent is the film for you. Really enjoyed the uniqueness of the characters and watching them interact. I was also a huge fan of the cinematography, especially for an indie film. It was a good movie with good heart.

A dark comedy in which lead Connie Lamothe really convinces. It's funny and daring in it's use of black and white footage mixed with colour, but overall it pans out. The underlying topics of management of your finances and women being dependent on their partners' income put a serious sublayer into the comedy, which I personally really like. The cinematography, score and production design are solid, maybe a tiny bit of a shorter edit would have been great. All in all highly recommended!

A really bleak dark comedy about how we handle our finances, unfaithfulness, and marriage. Slightly too long for a comedy but I enjoyed the filmmaker's love of language and fresh take on the material.

So here's the thing about SPENT, either you "get it" or you don't. I'll explain. Remember those friends (or perhaps it was you) who didn'tunderstand what everyone was laughing about with SEINFELD, NAPOLEON DYNAMITE or more recently, perhaps PORTLANDIA? The acting is done in a particular way that goes for a certain type of humor, not a Meryl Streep performance of epic proportions.

People who give this one star, couldn't have seen the sam movie. I thought the cinematography alone was great and definitely a part of my scoring card when it comes to films.

Before posting my review, I wanted to check out what others had to say. There are many who "got it", like I did. I saw one reviewer mention the restaurant scene and how obvious it was that the "rat" wasn't real. I thought to myself "wait, wasn't that the gag?" becuase I actually laughed as it worked its way up the aisle. In the end, I enjoyed this film. It was different and quirky. A good combination.
