So much average

Excellent but underrated film

Best movie ever!

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This man is so odd. He was very good in this movie. I was surprised how well he did on this strange first "date". For the most part, the entire movie was shot in some NYC apartment and it was just about these TWO characters talking to eachother in a very awkward and uncomfortable manner. The female lead in this movie was HOT and I could not believe she was attracted to the bizarre looking Tom Noonan!!! Great movie though....for me.

I have kind of mixed feelings about this one. It's pretty well done and I appreciate the way the characters are drawn in increasing complexity. But I sometimes felt restless and I just couldn't see why this rather sexy woman would ask Noonan out on a date, since while she would talk about how he was funny at work he failed to be funny in her apartment. Sillas was extremely good, with terrific body language that let you know what was going on as the mood changed from moment to moment.

OH MY GOD did anyone make it through this??? This is truly a test in patience. I would think that if you're good at 10,000 piece puzzles of white husky puppies in the snow, you may endure this movie. It's now been on for 20 minutes and the only reason I could possibly watch any more is to see if this guy turns out to be a serial killer and murders this pathetic woman. I had to see if these reviews here could please spoil the ending so I could turn this off or at least wait till the 'good' part. But from reading others, it's this way all through the 'film' (loosely termed) I struggle to wonder who actually paid to see or better yet make this film. again...OH MY GOD Leave it to WE (women's entertainment) to air this on TV. OK I'm not just harping, but in this half an hour the dialogue has consistently been slow, awkward, meaningless, and every sentence ends with, "are you joking? oh you ARE joking (awkward laugh) you're SO FUNNY!"

I've been in some pretty uncomfortable situations. There was one time I wanted to escape my present company so desperately that I pretended my water broke (amazing they bought it, as I was only five months pregnant). But nothing compares to the painful evening the couple in this film endure. It's almost voyeuristic as we observe, in real time, the lulls in conversation, forced laughter, and embarrassing confessions of these two losers.Two things that are praiseworthy: (1) Tom Noonan, who plays Michael (and is also the writer/director) is completely believable in his role, and (2) the movie's pretty short.One more thing - I've seen, read, and dreamt a whole lotta of scary things in my life, but apparently I'm a nightmare lightweight compared to the stuff going on in Noonan's mind. The segment where Jackie reads her "children's story" aloud is, quite possibly, the most disturbing sequence on film.
