Unsatisfying, but strangely engaging

This is a very minimalistic movie. Spare dialog. Simple sets and locations. Bare bones plot. Undeveloped characters. It left me unsatisfied and feeling a little cheated. Yet, the lack of detail was somehow engaging -- I felt as if I had to constantly fill in the blanks, especially the characters' motivations, with my own back story, like a cinematic paint-by-numbers. I have to go back to high school lit for this, but the motiveless characters reminded me of something out of Camus -- maybe the Stranger. The austerity of this film, and certainly the running jokes about golf tips, the big softball game and "my day at work," are good metaphors for the banality and meaninglessness of modern life. All in all, refreshingly different than the usual overly plotted, visually dense concoctions turned out by bigger-budget producers.
