1. Quality

2. Summary

   Really Great 4.5

   A very funny and surprisingly sweet dark comedy. The plot is absolutely ridiculous without becoming convoluted, mostly because of the likable cast and fun, punchy dialogue.

4. Acting

   Great 4.0

   Scott Speedman is quiet and introspective one, and Wes Bently is the idea man… both very perfect in their roles. I don’t much care for Taryn Manning, but she’s just as good here as anywhere else. Greg Bryk looks weird in this role, but only because I know him from Regenesis… The rest of the cast is unknown to me, but work very well in the movie.

5. Male Stars Great 4.0

6. Female Stars Great 4.0

7. Female Costars Great 4.0

8. Male Costars Great 4.0

10. Film

    Really Great 4.5

11. Direction Perfect 5.0

12. Play Perfect 5.0

    Great chemistry probably helped, but this is some of the most natural comic dialogue I’ve ever heard.

13. Music Perfect 5.0

    An amazing collection of pitch-perfect songs.

14. Visuals Great 4.0
15. Content

16. Edge

    Risqué 1.9

    It’s a drug comedy, so there’s that… and lots of swearing. People get knifed and maced and crushed by heavy objects in a fairly slapstick way.

17. Sex Innocent 1.0

18. Violence Fierce 2.0

19. Rudeness Profane 2.6

21. Reality

    Glib 2.0

22. Circumstantial Surreal 2.5

    Again, the plotline gets ridiculous, but it’s always fun and interesting.

23. Biological Surreal 2.1

    There’s a thing with a leaf… it was weird…

24. Physical Glib 1.5

    Like I said, some slapsticky stuff, but pretty grounded.
