    Don McKay is a curious hybrid of warring tones that occasionally make peace. When they do, it's quite magical.

    Church oozes lonely-patsy schlubiness and Shue radiates crazed heat, but the movie ultimately relies too heavily on dry wackiness and goes too light on the fatalistic bleakness.
  3. He definitely needs more experience, but writer/director Jake Goldberger displays an appealingly skewed sense of humor in his noir debut.
  4. 25
    A ludicrously pretentious train wreck masquerading as a movie.
