It's a small indie movie playing at a single theater in Manhattan.

I'm a sucker for this genre (post-college, young adulthood, coming of age movies) and really wanted to like this movie. I think I got the genre wrong. I sort of liked it. I dunno, maybe I didn't like it too much, but I had a good time, and I still think about it, sort of. I guess. Anyway, I'd rather watch a movie about smart, unhappy people than dumb, happy ones.

My desire to see this type of movie was destroyed by Tao of Steve and Napoleon Dynamite, two of the lamest pieces of crap in cinematic history.

Haven't seen NP but Steve is clearly not of this genre. It starts with them going back to their TEN YEAR COLLEGE REUNION. This genre is more along the lines of Barcelona and Kicking And Screaming (not the upcoming non-laughfest involving kids and soccer).

Between this and the Seafood, I'm losing faith in you quickly.

I really hate the word 'indie'.

There's only one Indy in my world and his last name is Jones.

I thought Tao of Steve was alright. ND was the worst movie ever made, that is certain.

I think when you're closer to 30 that you'll prefer Barcelona. Also, I didn't actually see either movie. I just read the reviews. I find that by reading reviews you can find out what happened in the movie and get someone's opinion about them.
