I have been waiting a while to see this in my exploration of slacker movies. It has the basic formula of slackers in a meaningless job, and trying to figure out their love life - this time on a quest to pick up a puffy chair for dad's birthday.
Jay and Mark Duplass share the credit for this film. They both wrote it and Jay directed, while Mark played the lead.
Josh (Mark) is a commitment-phobic musician who engages in some pitiful baby-talk with a needy girl fiend Emily (Kathryn Aselton). Also involved is the strange brother Rhett (Rhett Wilkins) who manages to pull a Britney Spears by getting engaged, pseudo-married, and split in just 12 hours.
Of course, that ceremony had the best slacker vows for a woman to say in a wedding: "I promise to always support you in what you want, even when you don't know what you want. And I promise I will never pressure you to do or be anything you don't want to be." Long live losers.
