Seen recently at the Dundee Theatre (still musty, but not for long)
Summer is all about the blockbuster, but every once in a while, you come across a little gem that deserves to be seen by the masses.
This film is a must see for anyone who's ever felt like a weirdo, either because of what you look like or what's going on inside your head that others can't see. Writer Derek Connolly's script seems to have avoided the Hollywood cleansing process, so its quirky charm, honesty and ending all made the final cut.
The relatively unknown cast really sold the story, which is - well - out there. My favorite is Jake M. Johnson's Jeff, a veteran magazine writer who's tired of his own charades. His fist pump during the final scene is exactly how I felt. I just don't think it would have worked with a bunch of A-listers.
Bonus Bones: 0
Maybe they're cat people in the Pacific Northwest, but I didn't see any of those, either.
