This film was mildly amusing, but hardly funny. Giovanni Ribisi seemed like a young Woody Allen with the depressing life situation. (That is not a compliment) To use an overused cliché, this film is what it is. It was never meant to laugh-out-loud funny, but wry, and I guess it was. Ribisi's character was annoying, but I'm sure that was also deliberate. There was solid acting up and down the cast. Kudos to Lynn Collins with whom I am unfamiliar. She is beautiful, and her character, however unfulfilled, is unlikely to ever be attracted to Solo. Also to Sarah Shahi, also major eye candy, who seems to have done this film before some of her more noted television work. Scott Caan's character was also deliberately annoying, but he deserves some credit for for competent and unobtrusive direction. Overall this film is okay...
