    A smart, compelling and wickedly enteraining movie. A brilliant, sharp, very funny and very moving drama that shows sheer realism in the lives and emotions of these characters. A great mix of comedy in drama that actually blend in well together. Freddie rince Jr. and Chris Klein ...( read more)are outstanding, giving honest, enduring and flat-out wonderful performances that truly shine. A wonderful film from the begining to it's very powerful and realising conclusion.

    I watched this movie because I was DJing in a bar near Trash bar (where part of the movie was filmed) when Freddie Prinze Jr. and Chris Klein and Chris Klein's assistant came in for drinks during filming. I figured, what the heck.

    I tried watching this one and couldn't take it. It was too slow and didn't look like it was going anywhere.

    a bit boring drama, trying to be a sort of ironic comedy
