Fishbowl California

This is little doubt that the actors in this movie put on an excellent performance despite the poor and contrived plot line. There was a story here about life and death, being down and out, and purpose but it was so contrived, stereotypical and unnecessarily unbelievable that the message was lost. Rodney was in foster care...really? Is that what led to his homelessness? Give me a break.

For fans of Judd Apatow and Greta Gerwig style dramedy - this is a sweet, little indie gem with lots going for it. Tons of nice little moments and performances. Take a chance on an unknown - it'll surprise you.

Quite bad acting from the main guy, boring with bad jokes. I can't understand the stellar reviews from others. 10/10 giving to it looks like others haven't seen other movie than this one. Then again people have a different taste, maybe you'll like it. My wife and I did not.

PS ok the black guy and old lady were good acts.

Not Great by any stretch but the humor was top notch. The main actor did a good job playing a very real, modern entitled loser. The plot is plain so it relies on the dialogue which is fun- but that's it. Basic Hollywood Rags to Whatever... gets the girl, gets even, no thriller, no twist but slow, don't worry if you need to pee fun... It's like Larry David's son-in-law was given an opportunity and a small bag of money and he hit a two bagger. I liked it but I wish I had my 120 minutes back.

This film was a fun independent film style romp through a mainstream film type genre. Michael A. Macrae writes some original and compelling characters going through life. Steve Olson and Katherine Cortez shine in this somber but uplifting tale that makes you laugh. The addition of Katrina Bowden and Kate Flannery as familiar faces of quality comedy helps cement this movie as a must see.
