    I couldn't even watch the whole thing, it was so bad. I even threw something at the TV. I'm going down to Blockbuster tomorrow morning and try to trade it in for another rental.

    Story about a stocky, audience perceived, less than average male schmuck, whose occupation as "just a secretary" shames him mentally. His true love is writing. Hilarious in many ways, as the adage: "Clever liars reveal details, the cleverest don't" comes back to bite the main character, "Josh" pay special attention to his relationships with women here. Thoroughly enjoyed this movie, must be seen when you are not too judgemental of a mood, & viewed without high expectations. If you gived this film a chance, you will laugh out loud. Has a certain dilbert corporate bashing... flare to it. Definetely worth a look. I vote it 2 electric pencil sharpeners up!!! Enjoy, & Cheers!… Expand

    This is a hilariously funny film that assumes intelligence, and thus doesn't try to jam the jokes down your throat.

    I now doubt the friendship with the person who recommended this movie to me. I wish I would have just shut it off. It was awful. I need curse words to fully describe how angry I am at the time I just wasted.

    Stands right along side The Producers and Play It Again Sam in intelligent humor . I was delighted to welcome Josh Kornbluth to the ranks of Mel Brooks and Woody Allen in the best of American humor.

    Very intelligent comedy - most will not get the humor and will not like the movie.

    I am a big fan of the "loser" movie genre, plus orginally from the bay area, so I really loved it. I thought it had some dead on satire, and some great quotes. I have to admit tho that I recommended it to some friends and they now give me funny looks.

    Oddly compelling. Some stuff works well, other stuff falls flat.

    I found the detatched surreality to be wonderfully uncontrolled, though the film seems comfortable with where it is at any given moment, it feels as though it could spin out of control instantly, hitting with precision the chord it aims for. A fine film to me.

    A funny movie, but like "Josh" himself, it's too self-absorbed, and maybe too nice, for its own good.

    The result is a winning comedy.

    Already too long. It makes you want to start moving globs of dirt to tunnel out of the theater as the movie ends with the famous theme to "The Great Escape."
