Must See Movie...

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Hiding his landlord's dead body becomes the least of a social miscast's problems in this offbeat indie comedy starring Little Britain's Matt Lucas. Quirky touches frequently abound as Lucas converses with his dog (who talks back!) and converses with his own reflection (which also talks back) though there is also room to wonder how much here is weird simply for the sake of it; there are several shots of Lucas prancing around in his underwear - even outside he never seems to wear pants. There is one very funny, darkly comic moment as his staging of his landlord's death as suicide backfires, however, best moments here belong to the supporting cast with James Caan as a grouchy neighbour, a near-unrecognisable Dolph Lundgren as an eccentric self-help book author and an equally near unrecognisable Peter Storemare as the odious landlord. The film is so reliant on oddball elements though that things fall apart near the end as the narrative takes a sharp, dramatic turn when Lucas discovers some unexpected things about his brother. The final scene also feels terribly banal for a movie that otherwise has originality written all over it. That said, there is a lot to like in how the events of the film indirectly lead to justice being carried out with regards to two supporting characters. The setting is pretty nifty too with 'Rear Window' parallels in plentiful supply, and the film almost serves as a comical spin on the seminal Hitchcock movie with the extreme oblivion of all residents to the landlord's disappearance - and his body being dragged out in full view at night!

I went into watching this movie expecting another indie drama with a big ensemble cast and just enough quirk to be cool with the hipsters. Turns out, this is probably one of the best movies I've seen in years. The plot revolves around Franklin Franklin, a bizarre man living alone in well, a small apartment, and his interactions and excursion with his various neighbors. I completely understand the negative reviews from critics, because the movie isn't perfect, There is some bizarre writing and story choices that might not bode well with audiences, but I honestly think that this movie is, in a way, a masterpiece. The characters all start off weird and somewhat repulsive, but as the movie progresses you begin understanding them and you begin to feel for them. There is rarely a movie that made me feel as much for the characters as I did in this movie. The reason for that is that the acting was fantastic, everyone played their character greatly, and there were little to no weaker parts to the performances. To wrap up, I highly recommend it if you can deal with some weird and bizarre, It's all worth it in the end.

If you relish the quirkiness of "Juno", "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and "Little Miss Sunshine", then you have to see this movie. I won't go into the detail of the plot line as there are plenty of reviews on that already, but if you relish the out of the ordinary compared to the typical Hollywood fare, then watch this movie. You won't be disappointed. Very funny and at times, very touching. All the actors put in great performances and sometimes it's not about the big "stars" you can attract or how many explosions you can create. This movie is about the story, and the lives of the characters within the story.

This movie has quite a cast for a straight to DVD movie. And it's a bizarre black comedy, that has the right amount of bizarre and comedy to it with some serious situations. The plot revolves around a overweight and diabetic guy named Franklin Franklin(yeah two of the same name for his first and last name) that is bald, walks around in his underwear and isn't the brightest guy while also being addicted to a beverage called Moxie. But still is a likable dude that has dreams of going to Switzerland and has love for his brother Bernard who is the quick-witted one that writes to him. And when there is a dead landlord in his apartment the story takes off from there. With couple of other different and a bit bizarre characters getting involved. It's cool how all the character connect when it comes to the plot and the warped but not over the top interactions is amusing to listen to. It even goes into direction I wasn't really expecting close to the end. Overall this is one of the good black comedy to go straight to DVD.8/10
