My interest in and study of romantic comedies led me to this film, an appraised quirky indie-flick. Though it wasn't quite to par with "professional" film, the independent filmmakers created the world well--I felt like I was there and knew the area. And kudos for the amateur-writer who still generated lots of out-loud laughing from the audience.
I was fascinated to find out that it was, in fact, a breakup romcom, featuring a MPDG, and a lackluster male protagonist. Though, surprisingly, the film *didn't* follow the pattern I had observed within my other three research movies, which was delightfully refreshing.
I wasn't struck with much feeling right after the showing, but now as I reflect on the film, it's clear that I really was attached to the characters, and still experience discomfort/joy/frustration/disappointment right along with Wendell's character.
three and a half.
