Craig Quits His Day Job

This is a fun film to watch and was easy to access through Amazon Prime. A light hearted comedy with a wee touch of encouragement for the misfits of the employed and unemployed world. I really liked the soundtrack and characters, which I think most people would find something in common with one of them.

At a glance, the premise seems familiar: a man quits his boring corporate job in hopes of finding some what he's really good at in life. Unfortunately, the titular Craig of "Craig Quits His Day Job" isn't really good at well... anything, and that includes quitting. Thus, we get a slacker comedy about the world's worst slacker which ends up leading to some very oddball, left field humor. Dare I say random? If you're a fan of this brand (Napoleon dynamite anyone?) then you'll enjoy Eric Paul Chapman's piece for sure. What ultimately makes the film work is that Craig is just such a quirky and soft guy, you can't really help but root for him in whatever odd goal he endeavors to achieve. Is there a moral in all this? Who knows and who cares: the laughs are worth it.

A charming light comedy featuring a kooky bunch of misfits that you will warm to immediately. Refreshing to see an American comedy not set in the typical Hollywood milieu. Fresh and unexpected.

Craig Quits His Day Job is about, well, a guy named Craig who quits his day job. Aptly titled haha. The film is a quirky comedy that follows the somewhat dorky Craig after he surprisingly quits his job and even gets ridiculed for it by his boss who calls him a "lifer" who will come crawling back by the end of the week. Craig is determined though and decides to unite the quitters around his neighborhood. The premise is a good setup for Craig to interact with a wide variety of funny eccentric characters -- the ones you'd expect have nothing else going on during business hours and who might be interested in joining a quitters group. The film is ultimately a fun, quirky, over-the-top comedy that is quite enjoyable. I'm continually on the lookout for good comedies to watch and I'd highly recommend Craig Quits His Day Job to anyone looking for the same.

Craig quits his job and the fun begins. This film is full of fun characters that seem to spin around Craig like tiny crazy planets. The hapless Craig quits his "lifer job" to get out from under a tyrant of a boss, and quickly falls head first into a seemingly parallel universe radiating from his apartment building.

The quitter self help group sessions were some of my favorite moments, with deadpan quirky performances by all the actors. Just a lot of fun.

Does Craig find love with Grace? Does he get his butt kicked by her supernatural tough guy boyfriend Klaus? Is Bing Crosby really in this film? Watch this funny movie and find out!

I applaud the filmmakers for putting together a comedy feature in Pittsburgh and showcasing some of Pittsburgh's finest actors. Way to go!!
