Something Better Somewhere Else Trailers

Chicago-based writer/director Ron Lazzeretti (The Opera Lover, The Merry Gentleman) explores the complexities of modern relationships in this independent drama presented in four parts. The first segment, titled "Last Day" finds acrimony taking precedent over amenity during a farewell party for an employee who's about to move on. A bride and the priest who's officiating her wedding get an unpleasant surprise after running away together in "Wedding Night," and a woman on the CTA receives a spontaneous gift that transforms her outlook on the world (at least, momentarily) in "Flowers". Lastly, a family preparing for a big relocation finds the forces of the universe seemingly aligned against them in "Move".

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This little known film was a great find on a lazy Sunday afternoon. It did the rarest of things for a modern day film, it was funny. It wasn't pie in the face, pants down, video game-like funny. It was actually intelligently poking fun at life. There were moments of poignancy and loss, but mostly I just enjoyed watching these fine actors reveal fascinating characters with a intelligent plot. There are 4 stories told with intersecting characters. The acting was excellent and the writer/director was quite masterful. The pace is amusing and appealing to thinking people. The actors were all unknowns to me, a sad rarity when everyone needs "name recognition" to make a film more marketable. I highly recommend it, and then I recommend someone write a better review.
