    If you are a Maron fan, then you may like this movie. Otherwise, it comes across like a failed TV pilot that was pitched to TBS. How this was green lit into a movie is beyond my understanding.

    Just a poorly conceived idea. Poorly executed and just not well made. Performances are all off and the writing is just a little too "written"

    Fantastic characters. Really enjoyed this film. Not a weak character in the bunch. And not only the characters but such a strong script. I am really sad the director died because she shares some genius here. The simple moments between people when they peak around the mask. Well done.

    Several laugh out loud moments for me. Very entertaining, silly, and ridiculous. My kind of comedy.

    This is quite a good film, with the 2 main performances done well by Gwyneth Paltrow and Daniel Craig. Its a sad story of course but I liked some of the prose spoken and its not too bad in terms of being a period piece. It isn't a film I'm likely to want to re-watch but it's a pretty good film otherwise - somewhat thought provoking I suppose. Yes, I would recommend it.

    The dry intelligent humor and 4 main characters make this a movie worth watching. The story was original enough that you did not see what was coming (which I appreciate) but the writing toward the end (and a few of the actors along the way) were a bit hokey. Still, the movie overall is pretty good.

    I like all of the characters in this low-key comedy. Not everything has to be laugh-out-loud funny to be entertaining in a comedy. I enjoyed this and recommend, as long as you understand it is muted and undersold.

    Awkward and frankly, quite boring. The premise for the movie was promising, but it never seemed to get out of first gear. The "interruption dialog" style of delivering the lines was more annoying than witty and droll. The bare-teeth, slack-jawed Jon Bass character bordered on unwatchable at times. This is 90 minutes of my life I will never get back. Don't waste your time.

    Marc Meron is wonderful! The movie falls short for me, though—the secondary storyline with Deirdre seems unnecessary and a little confusing at the end.

    I loved the script and every single quirky character. Belly-laughs throughout. What a treat!
