The Beta Test

A vaguely fascinating concept, though the premise is quite inept, if a pair can get together, wearing masks they don't untether. Can't imagine hooking up, at least sneaking a tiny look, unless you are the type or kind, who likes to be deaf, dumb and blind - which is fine, but you'd need a pretty good pairing algorithm to know that!

A social satire about our modern society that produces unsatisfied people by always selling them the next best thing, by convincing everyone they need and deserve more, making those who have everything not even realizing it, leading them to poor choices and often madness.

The main character has a beautiful and devoted fiancee, health and he makes a decent living. But by always searching for more, he starts to loose all of the above, plus himself and his dignity. His sinking is about half-way through when he first appears, which makes you wonder what's wrong with him and allows the movie to be grasping.

Jim Cummings is obviously a big Jim Carrey fan, too obviously in my opinion. It really felt like he was imitating his vision of what would have been Carrey's performance instead of really making it his own, which is actually not that bad but can be frustrating at times. Like his character, he seems to be searching for himself (as an actor) ; maybe there's a subtle message there related to the plot...

The story is too restrained in my opinion, it lacks daring, but still is quite clever and enjoyable.

Overall, even though this movie has its flaws, it's really worth watching.

I honestly have no idea what I just watched. It wasn't terrible but it certainly wasn't good. I wasn't bored but I was in no way into it. I knew what was happening, yet I was confused. It wasn't funny but I did laugh a few times.

It started off kinda interesting, with this skeezy, toothy dog. LOL But, some parts were a bit confusing and the acting was ok, but not great. But it did have a follow-me-down the rabbit hole type mystery to it, that made you wanna see what he would do next.

I don't know about where they got the cheating statistics in the digital age as being LOWER than ever??? I was pretty sure they are Higher Now in past 20 years because of Hand Held Technology (LOL) than they have ever been, with cell phones, and tons of dating and hook-up sites, where you can reach people all over the world, not just the people in close proximity to you, like in the old days. :o I could be wrong, I'll have to look that up.

Overall, I enjoyed watch the main dude FREAKING OUT, and throwing things, and hallucinating. It could have been better, but I think It's worth a 1 time watch if your interested in this genre. ;D.

I am starting to like Jim Cummings. He is like a more neurotic Ed Burns. Impossibly gorgeous but completely flawed.

In this film, he totally nails the obnoxious Hollywood agent thing. You really just want to loathe him as he trainwrecks his way through his seemingly perfect life. But of course, he is only human - a disgusting, overbearing and weak human despite his golden boy facade.

He just can't help himself. If you like the idea of watching a pretty alpha male lose his mind and get what he deserves, this is a decent 90 minutes.

I hope Jackie's résumé was printed on anything but blood clot purple.
