UTOPIA!
First, I love when stories shove impossibly quirky ideas into my face and not only handle them in ways that are still accessible, but are also integrated into the plot in such a way as to be vital to the rest of the presentation. Case in point: Duo's shipping and receiving of his own stuff. ...made absolutely no sense to me whatsoever until later when, alone in an almost completely empty apartment, sat delighted and eating his own snack food parcel of cereal, chips, etc. It was then that I realized, in such a subtle and beautiful way, he was literally re- claiming his life. I loved it.
Second on the list of praise - This movie was overflowing with personality and sports a most endearing cast. It was rather scary how, by the end of the flick, I almost felt Travis (one of the main characters), had been my best friend for years. Duo was truly convincing as the goon none of us want to admit we are, Bru was maddeningly charming, and this Catherine Campbell sure knows how to play the absent but nevertheless ever-present "villain". Cheers all around to them.
Finally, I'd recommend this film to anyone who's ever been forced to sit through a romantic comedy wishing somebody would finally get it right. For those whom this describes, Mr. Hunter has a movie for you.
