Boring - ignore the IMDb rating and skip this movie

Rating: 3/10 (3 August 2012)

The first problem with the movie: it is categorized as a comedy, but it's just not funny. I don't remember hearing the audience laugh out loud even one time. I liked most of the performances, however there was very little character development. I just felt like very little happened or changed. The Bob Balaban character often spoke directly to the camera and it just didn't work well within the story. I recommend you skip this movie. It tried hard to be quirky, but the effort feel strained by the end of the movie. Near the end, the long advertised storm arrives with the promise of some drama in a dangerous rescue scene, but that opportunity is completely dropped. The early mention of the terrible storm implied it would have something to do with the story and have impact on the young couple. This led to even more letdown and confusion of why the narrator's early speech is necessary for the story. The bottom line: not enough here for a full length movie.
