I watched this as a Netflix streaming movie. I was drawn to it mostly because it features Tom Cavanagh who played the bowling alley lawyer on the early 2000s TV series "Ed." I enjoy his acting style, and in "Alchemy" plays much the same type of character, but is a computer nerd instead.Tom Cavanagh is Mal Downey who is a professor doing research in advanced computer intelligence. When he comes to work, his voice is all that is needed for the computer, Jerry, to unlock his lab door. But Mal finds out his funding, AND his employment, will end shortly unless he becomes published.The rest is pure silliness, but entertaining silliness. Mal decides to try to get published by staging a competition between his computer and a noted speaker, the "love Guru", to see which can get a test subject, a pretty girl, to say "I Love You." Michael Ian Black who was on of Ed's bowling alley employees on the TV series is the voice of the computer, Jerry. Sarah Chalke is the subject, the pretty girl, Samantha Rose . James Barbour is the love Guru, Dr. Troy Rollins.Do you think Mal will get the girl in the end? And maybe forget about trying to get published? That is my guess.

This is one of the worse movies I have ever seen. It reminded me of a bad pilot that never got picked up and instead got crammed into a poor excuse of a film. The story was stupid, the characters were shallow and not likable, and the jokes would not land. If you took Tom Cavanah out of this movie, it would have a below zero rating, but I have to admit he did an OK job considering how horrible the script was. This was the worse thing in the Tribeca Film festival (I saw home videos that turned out better than this). Do not see this movie unless you are a teenage girl who likes sappy, unsophisticated, not believable, and shallow material.

Attended the world premier at Tribeca Film Festival, what a great event for Downtown NYC. Sarah Chalke is fantastic as female lead in this movie, perfect casting. The story is sweet, the dialog is fast and witty without going over the top into NY sarcasm. Tom Cavanaugh does a wonderful job as the lead. The the supporting cast is excellent. Ileana Douglas, Celeste Holm, James Barbour are all great. Nadia Dajani's performance will be talked about by everyone as the quick comeback, cynical, heart of gold editor.The audience was treated to several belly laughs, not easy to do with a NYC audience. The various locations around NYC gave the movie a terrific backdrop for a story that can't be told without great acting and well written script. There are so many good lines in this movie that anybody who sees it will be repeating for years.Overall, an excellent and very well done movie with terrific music to boot. A little surprised that it was an independent film.

Just caught this in its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. At the Q&A after, someone in the audience described this movie perfectly -- it's the kind of comedy Hollywood used to make so well, before the movies started drowning in their own stupidity. "Alchemy" is laugh- out-loud funny, immensely charming, a whole lot of fun, and -- amazingly enough -- doesn't insult your intelligence! Not much else to say about it, other than that (like my favorite documentary, "Spellbound") it's a movie that absolutely everyone should and will enjoy. Will be very curious to see how many millions this movie makes when the general public gets to see it.Oh, and one other thing -- Tom Cavanagh (from "Ed") as "Jerry", the gay French computer program (you'll know what I mean when you see it)....Hilarious!!
