this be a very surreal movie that have everything for the avid film fan . the performance from cuthbert and slater be top draw and the script be excellent culminating on my opinion with a below par end . i feel i would have give a 10 if there have be a little more thought in the last 5 10 minute . the story revolve around slater and he have a very mundane life and be treat like a piece of dirt by his work colleague . he work in a cubicle and spend all day plan to literally shoot the office up until just a you think he will another colleague do . he then save cuthberts life and this be where the story really begin . there be various surreal moment and on several occasion slater be talk to his fish and they have some witty response . cuthbert look great a always but nice to see her in a movie where some acting be require and i would find it hard to criticise though a the film the girl next door be my favourite film of all time and cuthbert can do no wrong . the karaoke scene be terrific and show both the humour and serious message from this film . slater character be another complex part of the story and you at the begin do not really have time for him . he then start to improve his life and his character become more likable but and ultimately his character go more and more into depression and loose his trust of everyone again and you start to dislike him again . on the whole this film will not set box office record alight but with all the rubbish roll out of the studio recently this be a little gem that have sneak out . i would definitely recommend you see it at your early opportunity .
