Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Too many fans seem to be blown away

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Absolutely Fantastic

You would have to lack common sense to call this a spoiler. How is something so preposterous (That a potential viewer who wants to be warned why it is such a waste of time) and is revealed on IMDb's cast list a "spoiler"? In fact anyone wanting to not waste their time should know this so called "Spoiler"; the movie is one of the rare ones whose entire rating hedges upon its end. If you did not read this "spoiler" then simply begin watching and then look at the credits. "Nicole" is voiced by a girl, as you would know watching the movie. And when it comes time to show you Nicole, you see one of the other cast members listed (Who everyone knows is not the other cast member). The script at this point gets this movie a 1/10 rating. HOW PREPOSTEROUS! The main character would not even have the common sense of any viewer? The main character would have known this is not the person on the phone just as the viewer does. This cannot be the person who was on the phone, any human aged 4 years old to senility would know it. But the main character doesn't? They could have improved the score of this movie to say 6/10 by simply using a transsexual or such with the same voice for the same character (Anyone see "Ticked Off Trannies With Knives"?) They should have cast one of them. They didn't. What a worthless movie, zero believability, zero probability, makes for zero anything.

Davey is a lonely, 28-year-old socially inept "writer" trying to peddle his self-published book of short stories by criss-crossing New Mexico in a beat-up old station wagon with a mattress in the back and doing readings at independent book stories to audiences of about five people. His loutish younger brother is along for the ride and the chance to snare drunk chicks who think the boys are the reincarnation of Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady.One night, when Davey is alone in their cheap motel room, the phone rings. One the other end is the sexy voice of Nicole, who says she is bored and wants to have phone sex with a dude. Any dude. Davey obliges. Thus is launched a relationship that has Davey totally spellbound. It's not all about sex. They share secrets, confide, console, etc. But only over the phone. He thinks they are soulmates. She insists on keeping her identify secret. Davey is desperate to meet her. His brother mocks him.This debut offering from writer-director Kyle Patrick Alvarez casts Brian Geraghty (The Hurt Locker) as Davey. He spends the whole movie in a state of confusion and yearning. He's a putz and knows it. But maybe there's hope. A lifeline has been tossed to him, but from whom? When the cat is deftly pulled out of the bag, you might fear Alvarez is going to go somewhere stupid with this. He doesn't. It plays out as it should. And, as with most good endings, a few additional possible scenes play out in your head.I look forward to seeing what young Alvarez does next.

Walking out of this movie, I felt much the same as Davy, the protagonist, did at the end of the film. Just like him, I felt betrayed by something fraudulent, only in my case it was the movie itself I felt betrayed by. I actually thought this compelling drama was going somewhere. The director and his cinematographer have a surprisingly strong visual sense for a low-budget independent movie, especially in the opening scenes; and while some of the acting and dialogue felt a bit strained and "film schooly" now and then, there were some great moments and, for the most part, it was smart and sophisticated, with a genuinely winsome and sympathetic protagonist. I was wholly engaged and very interested in seeing where it would all lead.The answer, unfortunately, was: nowhere. In the end, the film turned out to be merely another indie exercise in "wouldn't this story make a great movie?" screen writing. Except there is no story there, nor is there really an ending. It's all build-up with no payoff, and it ends up feeling like little more than an anecdote (and in fact the screenplay was apparently based upon a true story, so it really was just an anecdote). And the big reveal at the end was just a big cheat, completely and unapologetically phony and disingenuous. I felt snookered by this movie.Still, the director definitely has talent, and so I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do with (hopefully) a better script.

As young, first time director, Kyle Patrick Alvarez, created quite a film, Easier with Practice, and is creating quite a stir. A passion of his since forever, was to direct and create movies. A lot of people do not know he is very musical also and brought great independent music to the film. He is very well read and a great writer. He really understands the entire process of movie making. Not every director has that gift. Everyone who worked with him on the film, have nothing but respect for Kyle Patrick. A 'true' Indie film made on a small budget. He casted the film perfectly. Although there is phone sex, the movie is really about an experience, a love story, a troubled soul. Based on a true story that was maybe 3 pages long, Kyle Patrick immediately knew upon reading it, he could make it into a full length movie. He is a Hollywood 'REFRESHER'! SOMEONE TO WATCH indeed.....
