Viewing Notes

On my flight back to Chicago I started watching this after finishing up FACE THE MUSIC. Only got about an hour into it but was invested enough in the mystery that I wanted to see the rest. Currently only available via paid VOD but my library had the dvd. So I picked it up and fired up my old MacBook Pro that I haven’t used in years. Fortunately it still works and played the dvd.

So I viewed the rest of the movie (and actually went back and rewatched the first hour again to catch things I missed during the flight). Enjoyed it. Adam Brody is perfect in this role of a grown up has been still clinging to his childhood glory. Definitely a dark comedy as well.
