(I saw this as part of IFC's In Theaters pay service)
Adaptation of the David Foster Wallace about a grad student who interviews men as part of her thesis or what ever and comes to learn about men and her self. Its a great cast, with witty lines but its also awfully mannered in the way that so many independent films are. Its not a film of life but an artificial construction that clearly means something to its cast and crew, but for the rest of us is just sort of there. Its not bad, and I made it to the end but my one thought while watching it was "why am I watching this when the Jets game was on". Not a ringing endorsement I know, especially when you consider how bad the Jet offense was during the first half of the game. Anyway I digress. Let me sum up by saying that if you like the stereotypical independent film sort of independent films give it a try. Everyone else should probably watch a sporting event.
