Most of the time when a new filmmaker does his first film, it's an autobiographical piece of pretentious garbage. The characters speak not from themselves, but spout out filmmaker's views on the meaning of life and such. The jokes are only funny to filmmaker and his close buddies, where they can sit around when they're in their mid forties, drinking beer, laughing at themselves.
When I popped this movie in, I thought I was in for another one of these really awful 'Indies'.
It did take a while to get into it, and it also had some very slow parts, but all in all it's not a bad flick.
Three twenty something friends each struggling with their own addiction... video games, porn, and safety. I wouldn't initially of thought of safety being an addiction, but something that interferes with your life or goals in life, because of some compulsion, then it's considered an addiction. Some may call it fear, but at this point it's all semantics, so back to the movie.
The feel of the movie is something like Clerks, yet influenced by Swingers and maybe some 'slacker' movies. Most of the jokes aren't 'outrageously funny', but more amusing, and anecdotal. It may not in fact stand out at all from other Indies of similar theme, except it's ending is actually fulfilling and makes you glad you gave it the chance to payoff at the end.
