    Great job, with no budget!

    Although it was shot on a very limited budget, that didn't stop David Lussier (producer-director-writer) to make a very (surprisingly good) movie. The characters are funny and so real that you could put names of people you know on them. Also, lead character (Martin Bienvenue) delivered an amazing performance especially when you know that this film was shot in only 5 days! However, I have to admit that the lead female (Genevieve St-Amour) could have been a little bit more convincing in her role. But, since her breath-taking beauty (she's really amazingly beautiful!) we forget all about her flaws in acting. And to close, it was a great idea to go with blues music for the film. Kudos to all!

    Amazing dialogue! Funny film!

    In this film, set almost entirely in one location, the dialogues are exactly what writing schools are teaching... they are real, they respect the characters motivations and since it's a comedy, are funny. Also, writer-director David Lussier, has been able to mixed dialogue from different style... sometimes it feels like it's a sitcom, sometimes you swear it's a reality-show. Great film, go rent it!
