According to Spencer stars Jesse Bradford as the titular Spencer, an ad agency mail room clerk just-arrived in L.A. and eager to make his presence felt. Renting a room in a run-down mansion, Spencer crosses paths with shady eccentrics Ezra (David Krumholtz) and Feldy (Adam Goldberg), aspiring porn filmmakers who convince him to make inroads as a commercial director -- with little success. But when Spencer serendipitously meets his childhood sweetheart Melora (Mia Kirshner), who's currently stuck in a go-nowhere relationship with the smarmy Craig (Brad Rowe), things begin to look up. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Again, I only watched it because Adam Goldberg was in it (and he was deliciously sleazy) but it was an adorable flick. Didn't care much for the love interest. She seemed way to self-concerned, but then again, people want who they can't have, wouldn't have been much… More
Again, I only watched it because Adam Goldberg was in it (and he was deliciously sleazy) but it was an adorable flick. Didn't care much for the love interest. She seemed way to self-concerned, but then again, people want who they can't have, wouldn't have been much conflict if the guy get's the girl easily.

Absolutely hilarious! An interesting story plot filled with tons of laughter. This is about a young man named Spencer who decides to move to L.A. to live. He meets his childhood crush, Melora, in a parking lot and realizes they both work in the same company. Spencer tries to seek the good career, the good home, and to have Melora as his girlfriend. As his pursuits begin, everything seems to go awry. Great cast- Jesse Bradford, Mia Kirschner, David Krumholtz, and Adam Goldberg. Phenomenal music. Definitely worthy.
