A *mess* of a script. This could have been a nice story, but sooo much time is wasted with side quests, like the main character having sex with various women, which could have been used to show how lonely he is, but no, he doesn't change or learn anything until the rushed last five minutes. What a waste of talent and money! And part of the story hinges on Main Character not taking five seconds to google something. Instead he hires a private detective. In the year of our Lady Dolly 2022. It is wild.

Peter and Shirley are a duo on fire. Their comedic blandness was perfectly cast. The story got to me, although it takes a while to come through with all the plot holes, it really is heartwarming. The movie as a whole was great for a first watch, but I don't see myself rewatching it. The dialogue and quotes wrapped around me so tight. I loved them. It did annoy me how it's 'sort of' based on a true story. I'll do my own research regardless, but based on this movie, I don't know what's true and false. The thought-provoking morals, though. They didn't have one ounce of false.

As the hero himself explains to the students, a person must have two desires. The professor takes sandwiches from a vending store, and in pursuit of the first one, he is ready to do anything. But he got the house on cunning terms. Realizing that even dreams have a limit, he is ready to accept. But Fate will play on the right side! Heartfelt

Is “the American Dream” still alive and well, or is it a pipe dream whose time has come and gone (and perhaps never really was)? That’s the question rhetorically posed in this modestly entertaining fact-based debut feature comedy from director Paul Dektor, which examines the efforts of an opti More
