A New Wave

I STARTED WATCHING BECAUSE LACY CHABERT WAS IN IT AND ITS NOT ONE OF HER HALLMARK MOVIES.

THIS IS SOME OF THE WORST ACTING I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE CONCEPT IS PRETY WEAK TO START WITH BUT THE VIDEO QUALITY IS SO BAD FOR AN EARLY 2000'S MOVIE THAT IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS MADE SHORTLY AFTER THE ORIGINAL "NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD" MOVIE.

THE ACTING IS SO HORRIBLE YOU CAN'T FOR A MOMENT FIND SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF, JUST THE DISBELIEF THAT THIS GOT MADE.

I HAD TO STOP HALF WAY THROUGH BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING REDEEMING ABOUT IT. IT'S NOT EVEN GOOD ENOUGH TO BE USED AS A MYSTERY SCIENCE 3000 DRUNK MOVIE. DON'T BOTHER.

I gave this movie a 5 out of 10 because John Krasinski is just funny in my book. No matter what he does.

I bought this screener off of Ebay a couple of months ago and watched it without any expectations whatsoever. There are two really good things about this movie:1. John being, well, John 2)Lacey's wardrobe. That being said, the movie had what could have been a decent script, but the editing and pace were both bad, the "British" gentleman had a horrible accent and Andrew Keegan never really got his footing. The ending will probably make you chuckle or say, "WTF?" It was obviously thrown together to try and tie up loose ends. Either way, most of you will see this to see JKras in all of his comedy glory, and he delivers some solid one liners that will make you giggle. But when he is not on the screen you will miss him. So, see it if you love John. But don't expect too much. After all, there are always reasons for movies to sit on the shelf for a couple of years before being released.Usually this occurs after a star has reached a certain status. Much like 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation" was released after Renee Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey made it big...

to me this movie was pretty good if you don't count how low budget it was. yes the editing was bad and the cameras weren't great and some of the actors weren't very good either, but i do think that it had a good script, idea, and Lacey and john both did a very good job in my opinion. it had a great soundtrack with music from army of me and chamberlain. had a bigger company picked up this movie i really do believe it could have been very good. i tip my hat to john for making me laugh, and Lacey for being super attractive as well as their acting. but was their any significance to the end? i re watched it time and time again to see if i was missing something but i couldn't figure it out.

So I got this from the rental store where I work before it was released (release is 8/21), just watched it today, and now I'm speechless. They could have had a decent movie here, but they screwed it up in some painfully obvious ways.

First of all, the parts with John Krasinski were funny, and are the only reason I gave it above a 3, but they are broken up by bad acting and terrible "serious" reflections on life between the main character (Andrew Keegan) and his girlfriend (the annoying Lacy Chabert). It would have been much, much better as a straight comedy ala Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

I wanted to like it, because I think Krasinski is funny and want to see him do well. The story wasn't bad either, just not very original. But the directing (and a lot of the acting) was terrible. I swear they had trouble keeping peoples faces in the shot and just went with it anyway.

Their carelessness is showcased when the gun expert corrects another character and says that a "Dirty Harry" gun is not a .357 magnum but a .45 (it was, as everyone knows, a .44 magnum).

So see this if you 1- really like John Krasinski 2- like to watch low-budget (and poorly-directed) movies or 3- Have too much time on your hands (this is me!)

Saw this movie at a friends place over the weekend. I didn't know anything about it and thought it was pretty clever.

Gotta say John Krasinski is hilarious!

You need to listen carefully for certain one liners and hidden gem obscure references, but if you get 'em you'll definitely have a laugh. Cast is impressive for an indie flick. William Saddler is really good as the dad, i usually like anything he does. I have thoughts on the ending but don't want to write any spoilers. if you like the office, or crime comedy, i think you'll be into this. Certainly worth watchin' if you're a fan of quirkie indie film.
