Q: What’s the movie about?
A: A strange and uninteresting man (Philip Seymour Hoffman) learns to swim and cook to impress an offbeat woman (Amy Ryan), whom he is dating.
Q: Who’s in the movie?
A: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Ryan, John Ortiz, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Salvatore Inzerillo
Q: Is this movie worth the price of admission?
A:
Proceed with Caution. Theater goers who didn't get a chance to see the play live, might enjoy the movie... much in the way that lazy high school students enjoy Cliff's Notes.Q: Will this movie make me laugh?
A: Maybe you. Not me.
Q: Will this movie make me cry?
A: Playwrights hoping to have their works converted into movies might cry, because this film supports the argument that that's a bad idea.
Q: Will this movie be up for any awards?
A: It will be up for Best First Feature at the Independent Spirit Awards, because that's an easy nomination to give Hoffman to try to convince him to be there, live and in person. Yes, it's all rigged.
Q: How is the Acting?
A: For me, the love of good acting is the only reason to see this movie... so long as you don't mind that the characters being played aren't ones that you'd want to spend any time with.
Q: How is the Directing?
A: It's Philip Seymour Hoffman's directorial debut, so you want to cut him a little slack, but like his character, the shots are particularly uninteresting, and the cinematography seems deliberately amateurish.
Q: How is the story/script?
A: Trying too hard to be raw and real often makes you look pretentious and phony. Not my opinion, that's just what my fortune cookie says
Q: Where can I see the trailer?
