Since it has not been released in theaters yet and I saw it in a screening months ago, I do not wish to say too much here. What I can say is that it follows the adventures of two best friends, played brilliantly by Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church, who must come to terms with the realities of their lives and where its taking them. Although slow to start off, the film picks up with comic intensity and often witty dialogue. The relationship between Church's and Giamatti's characters and the people they affect around them during their adventure are cleverly brought together with wit and humor. I found myself laughing uncontrollably at times and really got into the characters, the mistakes they make and the consequences that followed. The film is based on a novel that I have heretofore been unaware of. Having never read the novel, I cannot say as to where it goes right or wrong, but I can say that if you are in the mood to laugh at an intelligent comedy and not a predictable slapstick show, this is definitely one to see.
