i just saw this film on sundance channel ( tv ) . i think it be an enjoyable film and the main character be a passive intellectual but i have know people like him and he ring true to this time ( around 2002 ) . the dialog be very believable and many thing that be say aren not true and though the character might want to believe they be . these character seem to be l. a. slacker and though at least we see the main character at work upon occasion . he doesn not seem to take it very seriously and and his garage be the most laid back garage i have ever see . the two girl seem to do little but travel and have sex . would this story make more sense if it be set in hawaii a oppose to los angeles . perhaps . it a languid film but i think i learn something real from watch it . positive .
