Quaffable, but uh... far from transcendent

I didn't exactly know what to expect of this movie. When I watched it I had only seen the previews a couple times and I had avoided the reviews like the plague. This a film that I can get into on certain nights, it has its moments and I really enjoy the interaction between Thomas Hayden Church and Paul Giamatti. This is the kind of film that I like watching when I feel like watching something that would normally be a lesser known title. This is truly a film festival style movie that made its way into the main stream, and while the critics loved it (I read them after I watched the movie) most people that were expecting more humor, were let down. The comedy is very dry in this for the most part, but it is a well made film. I enjoyed it.
