Me, the grumpy old man, hates the use of black and white filmathography productions... why, cause the world actually is a world of colours, even for colourblind, noone out there sees just black and white, apart from some sinister one per billion syndromists that always ruins MY statistics, and apart from that its a film with good old joke, flimsy caracters and actually some hints of smiling ill admit.
Personally im not the verbal comedy buff, like better the physical pranks comedies, but its within reach even for me, the cast is very localiced gang of actors from the northeast u.s and the flag of independancy hangs up pretty high. So its not a film that promotes the carieere for doorstep salesmenscraftmanship, a real dying species these days,but they are far better than the witnesses and and other moronors that hangs by your door just when you dont want them, so give them a try i will recommend that.

The idea seemed fine, but the movie could have been half as long. Side stories for every character, while the only inciting action kicks in about 20 minutes before the movie ends. Dialogue is often clunky and awkward. The fact that it was in black and white seemed like a decision made after they found out the cameras weren't white balanced. There's a plot here, but it needed to be edited :/ the description of the movie is actually so little of the movie
just go to stavros' youtube channel instead :/

Excellent movie, truly underrated and definitely going in my movie reference list. Well done everyone involved. Found your film on an android tv app and had the best night, will have to watch again with the wife. Im living in Sweden and i dont know how well you are known in the US, but as a foreigner never having been there, I got vibes of GTA5, Seth Rogan, even some classic naked gun style physical humour in there. But at the same time it's a bold choice to shoot in black and white, I mean the white balance alone, just look at clerks 1, but the cameraman and editing department made those shots cinematic. This is the kind of stuff I wish they showed in movies.
I get it, I get it...comparing it to cult 'neo-classics'.... It's the characters, premise, pace, and style that makes this unique. It's the new shtick. This film has it...loads of it, while not being caught up trying to be edgy.
Watched this film with no foreknowledge of creators' backgrounds. Within a minute I knew this was one of those films I would have to accept on its own terms if I were to have any chance of enjoying it.
Well I "got on board" and was well rewarded for my decision to do so. There is not a shred of cynicism in this oddball low budget comedy. That alone made it worthwhile for me. Devoid of irony as well (in this post-ironic era). There is no "meta" here. No self consciousness. It's just a quirky comedy written and performed with sincerity. How refreshing!
I didn't laugh out loud. But I smiled till my face hurt. For me the comic value of this "comedy" was superseded by the full commitment of the ensemble to make the thing work. They were "on board". And that kept me "on board" This type of commitment used to be the hallmark of most low budget narrative indies. Not so much anymore.
Alas.
