    funny little film

    This film is OK. There's some funny moments, and cameos. You Really don't Need to see it, but it's not waste of time, I think. So at least give it a change, if you see it's coming from TV.

    Surprised by how much I liked it.

    This film was a pleasant surprise. Nestor Carbonell's screenplay was well-written and clever and obviously came from his own experience as a "faux latino" on Suddenly Susan. The literate dialogue, frequent references to Nietzsche and insightful examination on the "fame game" made this more than just a throw-away comedy. Worth renting...if only to hear Carbonell speaking without the accent.

    Great Movie!

    I am a big fan of independent movies (I don't like those big budget Hollywood movies), and this one was AWESOME!! Not only was the cast great in it, but the writing was very original. This movie will make you laugh and cry - it's that good.

    Mildly amusing, relatively painless

    The movie is mildly amusing. The opening is pretty cute with the supposed home invasion. Rather offbeat, it should be watched just for a different viewpoint in film. Some fashion and pop culture trends at the start of the millennium can be viewed in this film, and is worth viewing for that reason alone. You can't help but feel for the main character. He is a genuinely nice guy trying to do his best. He is a talented individual that should get more roles. The movie is not bad, over all. It is an amusing way to view the inside of a K-mart. The customers are not realistic and they almost overcamp their roles. But the lead actor remains believable throughout.

    worse than a blue-light special

    Attention shoppers still to this day is been my lowest ranking of a movie ever. It doesn't even deserve a star. I use it as the basis of judging every movie that I see for whether it could possibly be worse than this. The height of the plot of this movie is a guy sitting at a card table at an empty k-mart. waiting to sign autographs. So far no one has beat it.Don't waste your time on this one even if your desperate, staring at the wall would be better. I think instead of a movie k-mart was using it as some sick advertising ploy to see how many people they could get to respond although they were most likely all in complaint. save your money for some other blue light special. at this rate, casey affleck's performance in this film is even worse than, dare I say it, his brother's in gigli. not that seen that movie...
