I can't say enough good about it. Years of movie and TV watching and this is worth all 10 stars. This is different. Hang in there till the 3rd or 4th episode. It is the best thing I have seen in many years. Writers who are original. Writers who actually are working their butt's off to write well. Production values on par with anything else I have seen. Cinematography that is actual art. This is what film/TV should be like more often. The direction is outstanding. The sets are outstanding. It is all outstanding. It shines in the gloom of what is mostly being shown anymore. A show where you actually can't say the lines before the performer gets the chance to utter them. Characters that are not only unique, well thought out, but dare to be different, and yet not just for the sake of being different.

You know you are in trouble when a cast of men entering middle age are playing characters that would usually be cast with teens. Even with teens they would be the "annoyingly dumb guys" seen in so many films.

I could not find even one saving grace for this film. The actors are all playing characterizations that are two dimensional and that they have repeatedly done before.

Nothing new is added. The jokes fall flat. It feels like it was intended for actors half their age but written buy guys twice their age who thought "those young people will think this is funny." It is not.

Spare yourself from this one.

I can not understand the fairly high rating for this film on this site. The family's of people connected with the film must be giving it high marks.

I enjoyed this little film more than most everything else I have seen this year. The direction, camera work, casting, writing are all well done. The chemistry between the actors is evocative. The story, as one reviewer said, could use another 20 minutes filling out the female lead's actions. But, at the same time, one of the great qualities of this film is the actor's ability to inform us through their presentation of characters. So many films and TV series depend on long laborious telling of a character's backstory to let us know who they are. With this film's level of writing and the actor's ability to present their characters, they fill in much of that for you without it needing to be spelled out for you.

What I liked most, was just watching a story that was interesting, touching and well presented, avoiding the two dimensional predictability of so much of what is being churned out of a production line industry.
