8/10
More fun than funny

I had to read about this movie after watching as throughout it from start to finish there is just something odd about it. To my surprise I discovered the film is mostly improvised.

The cast (which includes some notable names) pulls this odd ball story off with great success! For improvised dialog it all fits and shows what a skilled cast can achieve.

The movie starts with each character only focused on their personal needs and with little concern for others. Fitz (the main character)has made a mess of his life but has a girl that loves him - unfortunately for Fitz he can't see this. Through a series of 'events' Fitz escapes to visit his father. At the 'Berlin Bar' Fitz learns his lesson and heads back to his girl. The others also learn a life lesson.

This is a simple story nicely told and bravo to the actors! There are a few slow moments but the movie is most entertaining!
