Insidiously engaging low-budgeter employs a literate sensibility, breezy tone and warm performances.

...a sporadically watchable yet thoroughly inconsequential piece of work...

Audience Reviews for Crashing

Not quite as good as either, but felt very much along the lines of <a href="http://www.flixster.com/movie/adaptation/">Adaptation</a> and <a href="http://www.flixster.com/movie/stranger-than-fiction/">Stranger than Fiction</a>.

Totally up-itself, self indulgence as it pats itself on the back from beginning to end. Decent performances save it from being bad but, alas, not from being boring. Izabella Miko stands out as usual.

How the hell did this movie get made? It falls into the assumption that a middle-aged-lech fantasy is any less of a middle-aged-lech fantasy just because it's diluted and overanalyzed with writerly pretension. I did like Lizzy Caplan of <i>Mean Girls</i> though. She's quite the chameleon.
