Disappointing. Really feels dated. Do people still think like this somewhere....like the NE part of the USA? Maybe. A lot of unhappy people here I guess caught up in their own self worth and how to protect it while making themselvesDisappointing. Really feels dated. Do people still think like this somewhere....like the NE part of the USA? Maybe. A lot of unhappy people here I guess caught up in their own self worth and how to protect it while making themselves miserable.

Only in a tiny world could we have characters like this....but the world is not small anymore...it is really big and somebody should inform the author of this movie.… Expand

About five minutes into this movie, I thought of Woody Allen. I've decided not to watch his movies any longer. Nevertheless, at one time he was a very gifted filmmaker. This movie appears to be have the same general feeling as one of Allen's. Uptight New York intellectuals worrying about everything.. it's low budget and it shows. Jason Schwartzman plays struggling young writer who is endlessly distracted by his near-fame. As a consequence, he's rude and dismissive to everyone around him. Most of the dialogue consists of characters making dogmatic statements or trying to outdo each other. I love neurotics and writers and New York intellectuals. But the cold tone, unlikable characters and familiar territory make this movie hard to get through.… Expand
