Featured reviews
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.

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.

The main actor is quite good. He's really believable and his final big scene was impressively acted. The movie makes great points but overall it was a little boring and not scary. The ending felt rushed and didn't quite make sense. Will definitely be looking forward to more by Jim Cummings, but this was a one time watch for me.
Or the friction of a fractious mind, of a grooming groom 6 weeks before his marriage, comes into such stress that all the latent undiscovered mental imbalances and diseases come to the surface in a very sexual potent dramathriller with a hint of comedy, or is it just another one of those senseless labyrinthic writer/producer/director hyperspadic shuffles of a confused humans mind? Dont ask me, cause i cant tell.
Jim cummings do have some weird movies in his dossiere, and the beta test is simply said another complex one. But it shows how voulnerable we are in our digitized lives, where you are controlled whatever or whenever, its a nightmare on the doorstep, but it misses the real potent strings in my uvula, and that is due to its complex story where noone can trust anyone, and therefore a bookmark case of every neurotics worst nightmare. It do also have some sex acts, even though its just at a second grade of grey, itll really suck you in...
jim cummings is this film, with a little bit of help from the supporting cast, his acts are weird and demeanors shares a coocoo's nest, and with a million facial expressions that can entertain even the most demented silverscreenviewer. I do not love him , i just like him , maybe because he is a spittin image of my son.
But the film lacks some debth of reason and is so abrupt and culdesacking in its plotdevelopment that its hard to enjoy for the average viewer, its more a geek kinda freakin show, therefore just a 6 from the grumpy old man.

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!
