This Ain't The Cover
See the cover? What does it remind you of? Me? National Lampoon style movie. This ain't it. This is an independent film. Yes, there is nudity, but not the Playmate variety. Yes, there is drinking & drugs & wanton sex. This is not however one of those slick productions we've all grown to love. This is a poorly lit & acted movie. The lead character will stop & randomly talk to the camera while everyone else he was just speaking to ignores this, ala Ferris Bueller without the charming scamp. These are normal, everyday people who got together to make a movie about a guy on his 30th birthday taking stock of his life, his friends, family & generally how he's living & finding himself wanting more all the while discovering it was right before his eyes the whole time. Not fairy tale style tho. In the deleted / extended scenes, he tells the camera that at parties such as his, it's best to carry around an empty beer bottle so he has a legitimate excuse to leave the conversation cause he needs a fresh one. I say skip this. Seriously, don't bother unless you need more angst in your life.
