I saw this movie at Sundance this year and I was kind of let down. My friends and I ended up with tickets not really knowing what we were going to see. The movie's story line is just WAY TOO DEPRESSING, however it does have its light-hearted moments, particularly when Schwimmer's co-worker/room-mate decides to show up. The movie was well done and it has a story that is not often seen (I can't think of anything similar to it off the top of my head), but everything moves slowly until the end. In the last half hour or so of the movie, everything picks up VERY quickly. It almost moves at a pace that is hard to follow. Bad thing on top of bad thing happen to Schwimmer's character, but then, with about 5 minutes left in the movie, everything resolves itself. Every bad thing that happens pretty much undoes itself.
This is not a bad movie, but my friends and I have agreed on the fact that this movie's story development/flow needs a little bit of work. We talked to some other people who saw it and they agreed. It's pretty much a build-up to nothing. It has amazing comical moments, but it's too depressing and too big of a let-down.
