This is the predominate problem overall: there is a single idea, and it's not a very interesting one on it's own.

This film is great!. I thought the direction, editing, and the look of the film were all crisp and tight. Completely entertaining. Reminded me, somewhat, of Repo Man. My only criticism would be that it was a little slow. The pacing is constant throughout. I� also impressed with the quality of the digital stream.
This wasn't bad, considering the subject of the sad-sack exaggerating a story to impress a girl scenario has been done so many times. It's always a danger to tackle a concept that is so used, but the performances and writing elevate the film overall. I particularly liked the scenes where Bill first gets up to perform (plugging in his bass got the biggest hoot out of me). Unfortunately...This wasn't bad, considering the subject of the sad-sack exaggerating a story to impress a girl scenario has been done so many times. It's always a danger to tackle a concept that is so used, but the performances and writing elevate the film overall. I particularly liked the scenes where Bill first gets up to perform (plugging in his bass got the biggest hoot out of me). Unfortunately the scene drags on too long. This is a problem throughout: the editing wasn't tight enough, and the pace should have been quicker; as they say, timing is everything in comedy. Also, the framing and composition for some of the shots weren't that good; the actor's heads would get cut off, for instance. As a whole, though, I thought this was a good effort, and could be quite good with a re-edit.read

While there is endless potential for a film dealing with a chronic drug abuser, I felt that there wasn't enough of Greg's life in this. I would like the filmmaker to follow the man as he goes about his day; this would help give some context. Largely composed of a single static mid-shot of the subject, the film tends to ramble as much as Greg does. As a result I feel no real...While there is endless potential for a film dealing with a chronic drug abuser, I felt that there wasn't enough of Greg's life in this. I would like the filmmaker to follow the man as he goes about his day; this would help give some context. Largely composed of a single static mid-shot of the subject, the film tends to ramble as much as Greg does. As a result I feel no real empathy.Another down side is the background music which at times is distracting, as when Greg sings the Doors song. At other times the music is simply not necessary. There is some potential here, but over all I didn't see much reason to watch the film, nor did I get drawn in to Greg's situation.read
