When you graduate college you easily sashay into the world of adulthood, start a career, and get serious, right? Wrong. Marnie has left college, but not her drinking habits and her bad taste in bad men. What's more, Marnie can't seem to find a permanent job. It would be sad if it weren't so funny.

Alfonzo B. gave it a6:
Excruciatingly entertaining look at socially inept people struggling in the uncertainty of life. This film is good but Bujalski's follow up Mutual Appreciation is my favorite film right now. There is a wonderful lo-fi feel to this flick but he it just needed some characters with more backbone to fill in it's holes But maybe that is Bujalski's point! Not everyone is openly forthcoming in their emotions.....
Nick G. gave it a3:
pointless rubbish, no directorial qualities to speak of and rambling dialogue which to little if any funny anything.
Marcelo T. gave it a9:
We need people like this guy to bring back long lost indie credibility.
E. R. gave it a10:
Charming, real, totally absorbing film that shows real talent from top to bottom, from upstart young director Bujalski to lead actress Dollenmayer. It's artfully shot despite having virtually no budget; the dialogue is fresh, funny, and absorbing. Anyone who has ever experience those awkward post-college years ought to love this--but really, anyone who appreciates a unique new sensibility on film ought to give it a try.
Dan B. gave it a6:
Whoa. I think the past view reviews are kinda harsh. It's a pretty interesting movie, in that it has a real DIY feel and it aims to show a sort of 20-something life that movies don't usually cover... It's certainly not great. But, y'know.
Ty T. gave it a1:
I honestly was forced to walk out of tthe theatre while watching this movie. It is clear that the critics who rated this film have no idea what they are talking about and should be fired and then removed from the face of the earth. I only gave this film a one because I dont think that it is possible for any film to deserve a zero, however this one came excruciatingly close. HONESTLY not worth your time and/or money. Trust me.
Mick V. gave it a2:
And that's generous, a sort of acknowledgment that yes the director is at least aiming for a sort of feeling. But, my God, what a waste the thing he aims for is. A slice of no life really. Not a single interesting or charming line is uttered in the entire film. Is it possible people could really be so helpless or inarticulate. Only in a film that painfully seeks to mark itself as authentic. A complete waste of time.
