Dubious at first, but looking for a reason to skip out on work, they decide that the only way to know for sure is to go and find him. (Phaedra Cinema)… Expand

    Not only does this film have the coolest title ever, but this bittersweet, multi-layered comparison of life's realities versus life's potential is as compelling as it is deeply resonant.

    Consistently undermined by a script that swings between the duller side of quirky and facile sentiment.
