They seem delightful.
After all of the (studio-induced) buzz, I was pretty psyched to find this one On Demand. Perfect way to spend a quiet Tuesday night. Turns out it was a super, super quiet Tuesday night.

A whole lotta nothing goes down. Sometimes that's okay in a little slice-o-life film. But not this one. Nail in the coffin? I found myself resisting the urge to fast forward.
Skip it.
