most film be crappy with high production value and this one be crappy without high production value . which set it aside from the large pool of horrible movie . as bad a this film be i need to give due respect to kathryn aselton who and i believe if give the proper script and could probably turn in a pretty good performance . she play emily the girlfriend to perennial doofus josh and who often refer to her a dude or man in a non ironical tone . but heres the thing and emily be a semi believable character which mean rhett will soon need to be add to the cast and to counteract this almost believable character with a guy even more preposterous than josh . when we first meet rhett we learn that he be deep because he be videotape a lizard which be proof that he see the world uniquely . rhett then show the tape to emily and in one of emily few unbelievable moment she act impress by this amateur tape of a lizard and wow i believe be how she respond once again with no irony of sarcasm even mildly imply . from the opening scene you be give warn that the camera work will be crappy and we open on a shaky close up of josh a he attempt to win over the viewer by act goofy . oh how care free this main protagonist be that he will act goofy . haha . this film could almost be a case study in just how bad film can be ( and for that matter just how far bad film can get in the festival circuit and i mean by comparison of most circuit crap this film probably do appear pretty awesome ) . i believe sxsw give this film some minor award ( oh south by southwest and why do you encourage them and it only cruel ) . but here be where i hand this film a compliment and it be the best of the mumblecore movement . mind you all other mumblecore movie suck beyond belief and generally include grotesque nudity and incomprehensibly bad acting and but still and it good to be the best of something . i haven not see baghead yet and but it look like maybe they have make a few stride forward and the preview at least make it appear tolerable and where as even the puffy chair preview couldn not really hide the fact that it be go to suck . i have get off topic here and anyways rhett be most likely not portray by a professional actor at all and much like josh most likely isn not an actual actor but rather the director ( or brother of director and there some mixed message there ) . i think rhett be somebody buddy and they say hey why do not you play this guy name rhett in the movie and the fact that rhett be the name of the actor and character probably mean the actor and character be the same and unless i be mistake and which i be not . if rhett shave the raccoon off of his face you would probably say he be attractive . so anyways rhett and emily and and josh team up to bring the puffy chair to rhett and josh dad . some stuff happen along the way and more bad acting and bad support actor and crappy camera work and an attempt at significance . this film wouldn not have be bad if it hadnt be so shamelessly pursue profound self importance . the whole thing be amateurish and if you can view this movie without pay for it and like if it on tv or for rent at the library and then consider look at it and just to see if you like this super cheap style of film making . i like what the duplass be do the whole make a movie with nothing concept and but i wish they would make a movie that someone would want to see .
