Those of you trying to book tickets for this should be aware that the showfilmfirst website has been down most of the day and is still down as I post this message. This makes booking tickets both impossible and frustrating.

But when it comes up, the film's worth catching. Funny, lovely stuff.

SFF's working again for me... Pity no location near me, as I really liked Radnor's first film.

Watched it again this morning, more than holds up, lovely is a perfect encapsulation of it, though possibly a little polarising for those who completely despise twee American Indie dramedies given the reaction by a friend.

That's good! Garden State was quite entertaining. As far as Indie comedy/dramas go though, one of my personal favourites will always be Everything is Illuminated.
Beautiful movie. Just beautiful.

Let me stop now before I take this completely off-topic yet again.

I thought this was pretty forgettable. It toes the line between comedy and drama and the result is safe, mediocre and quite bland. There are too many unnecessary sub plots. Some decent performances but I found the story arc lacklustre and unsatisfying.

6/10
