Summary: Harmony is a prototype nightmare dumpee - the sort of heartbroken friend you take out for consolatory
drinks two or three times before resorting any excuse to avoid hearing, yet again, the play-by-play rehash of just what went wrong. In the wake of his

drinks two or three times before resorting any excuse to avoid hearing, yet again, the play-by-play rehash of just what went wrong. In the wake of his
separation from his perky dreamgirl Jessica, Harmony's friends and family are as unsympathetic as only true intimates can be. His appalling brothers mock his anguished state, and his buddies counsel
stoicism on the basis that Jessica was 'dull' and 'only an eight' (as opposed to the elusive 'ten'). The there's Harmony's boss, who self-confessedly loses
interest in women once they reach legal age; and his mother, an obsessive chainsmoker whose lungs, according to her doctor, 'should be declared a national disaster area'. (Film Science)… Expand

Don R. Lewis

Once you get into the groove of Harmony and Me and realize the film is not only very tightly scripted, hilarious, and quite brilliantly acted, you’ll quickly be won over. Read full review

Mark Olsen

Harmony and Me, written and directed by Austin-based Bob Byington, represents much of what is wonderful and fresh about the recent wave of ultra-low-budget American independent filmmaking. Read full review

Karina Longworth

Harmony is a finely tuned comedy, complete with precisely scripted jokes and comic set pieces that swerve toward the playfully perverse. Read full review

Vadim Rizov

Slight, indifferently shot, and entirely lacking in ballast, Harmony and Me's sole justification for being is that it's consistently very funny. Read full review

Ronnie Scheib

Bristling with wry wit and peopled with a rogue's gallery of disaffected losers. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Despite the film’s sketchy aesthetic and barely animate lead, its tone is carefully contrived: I’ll wager no one in your circle is as dryly funny or spontaneously surreal as Harmony’s nonsupport group. Read full review

Kirk Honeycutt

A slow meander through the mostly stagnant life of a character hardly worth the bother. Read full review

I saw this at a screening in Michigan and truly think it's the funniest film I've seen all year thus far. Not kidding - it's seriously funny.
