A clever concept indie with old timey zip.

A thin gimmick to be certain, but at a tick or two under 80 minutes (!), this amiable comedy never wears out its welcome.

Triumphs through sheer goofy charm.

This was an interesting movie. The main character is an anachronism, and you get to see him take on his NEW struggles an OLD way. It's a bit vulgar, that's why you have the R rating, but otherwise a somewhat wholesome movie.
