Another chill Swanberg movie, where likable, real characters talk about life's problems, or talk around them (it's not mumblecore anymore I guess).

This one is driven by maybe his most straight-forward storyline yet; ostensibly it's about re-kindling a marriage through both a literal and figurative "Digging For Fire."

A great cast, character-driven humor (who knew Orlando Bloom would be a fit in something like this?) and a coked up Sam Rockwell -- would someone please give this man a seriously great role?

I liked it quite a bit, like I like most of Swanberg's stuff, but I'm still waiting for that breakthrough experience from him. The kind of humanity and minor profundity of Linklater or someone like that.

This movie has a surprising amount of well-known actors in it; however, the movie left me wanting more. It is short, and they try and cram a-lot of meaning and understanding into the film without really resolving anything except for the last five minutes.

I do not recommend this movie unless you use it for background noise while you surf the Internet or clean the house.

My love for director Joe Swanberg and actor Jake Johnson intensifies with this movie about a couple that lost their mojo, and they're gifted with a weekend without each other.
