Warning: All characters have potty mouths.
She's CRAZY. He's looking for crazy. (Vivian and Wilson). Some surprises happen along the way.
He's definitely down and out, and I was definitely rooting for him. Who doesn't want a sensitive guy in a dark pea coat following you around, willing to empty his bank account for you?
She seems to cry and get mad for no good reason. I did want to like her. She has a great sense of style and she is spirited. In the end she takes something from his bathroom that I thought was a nice moment.
There is a great scene where his roommates dress him up for his date in hip hop gear and he feels a little awkward. There is another great scene that comes to mind when they save her (plush) bunny.
Why are all the images of this movie on the web in black and white? This is not a black and white movie on my DVD. (I think some version released was.)
I like this film because it is experimental and it shows off L.A. (places like the Orpheum theater) and because the plot goes to some interesting places.
It won an Independent Spirit John Cassavetes Award in 2008! However, I'm rather surprised it got such good reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and reception other places because it is so raw and the characters and situations are so over the top.
But if you throw reality out the window, you will have fun watching this movie.
