It was great. Ben Stiller is seriously underrated as an actor. (See "Permanent Midnight" and "Zero Effect.")

It's depressing and f'ed up, no doubt you like it. Similar genre to Closer. Probably a better movie than Closer. Too bad you swap nasty Amy Breneman for Natalie Portman.

In the Company of Men was way way better.

the repeated discussions about closer was what prompted me to make this post. i thought closer was an ok and forgettable movie, and that everything i liked about it was done better in YFAN.

i think the plot summary is much better than the actual movie.

You're right. The idea was better than the excution. But the idea was really great. The creshendo "[censored] it" line was good and I like that actor.

I have trouble liking movies with totally unredeemable characters. But if you have to compare Closer and FYAN it's no contest really. Closer is actually a pretty blatant plot ripoff of YFAN. Intersting.

I was blown away by Stiller in "Permanent Midnight," but you're not the first person to tell me I'm an idiot for thinking he should have been nominated for an Oscar for his performance.

FWIW RustedCorpse also just qualified via a Party Steps thingy.

I take it that means you'd recommend I buy this movie off ebay or amazon or something.

Aight I'll go ahead with buying it since I'm pretty sure you were trying to disuade me from purchasing Ghost World and after viewing it I conclude it was pretty crappy (even with Johanssen looking v. fine in it).

Agreed. I'm not sure Zero Effect falls into the category of 'criminally underrated', or 'great movie that not many have seen'. It really is a fantastic film.
