I like the idea of this movie more than I like the actual movie. A concept straight out of blockbuster fiction turned in to a Hal Hartley movie. It could and should have been more enjoyable, it certainly seemed to lack the charm of his earlier work. Underwhelming.

I love the style of Hal Hartley's films. The characters have a distinctive point of view. This film made me laugh and left me with a feeling of wonder. It has a great story and is beautifully filmed.

All bark, no bite...
My third Hal Hartley experience was nothing short of disappointing. Where The Unbelievable Truth was sincere, sweet and the right amount of weird, and Trust was just simply incredible in every way, this one is left with only the Hartley-style and the occasional times the humor hits the soft spot.

One of my least favorite of Hartley's films. It retains his sense of rhythm and his visual style, but the story is just a bit underwhelming.

Stagy acting, interesting cast, weird dialogues, absurd humor at times. Great depiction of early nineties tech (clunky mobiles & laptops). Nice alt-rock soundtrack.
