Girlfriend's Day

Watch it without expectations. Quirky. Silly. Fun. Inventive. Odenkirk just can't do wrong. He's always a natural. A welcome twist on the Coen bros /Tarantino /screwball comedy that exists for no reason but entertainment.

This is really short, almost to a degree where I was thinking if the running time indicates this to be a TV show. It isn't, it's a feature length that just is way shorter than the 90 minutes we are used to. And it's not a bad thing, quite the opposite. Odenkirk is really something, the way he portrays the character of his ... just amazing and really grabbing the attention of the viewer. Having said that, the script is as quirky as it can get. You have quite a few actors you may know if you watch the odd movie or two (or a hundred). Also some TV shows, like Mad Men. The humor is dry and awkward at times, which is something you must like otherwise you might have issues with the movie itself. So you are warned or let's say prepared for what is ahead. It's fun, it's short and it is entertaining. I really had a good time, flaws and all.

I've been wanting to check out Nobody. Not having 'free' access to it yet, when I saw this pop up on my Netflix front page, I thought this would be a good substitute until I saw it was one of the lowest 'matches I had ever seen. It was like 50 something percent. I didn't even know they went that low. That piqued my curiosity even more. When I saw the run time of and hour five, I was in. So todays lesson is nobody better than nobody. This movie crushes on so many levels, from the ridiculous plot to the devastating details. Do not pass this one by. I will be making an IMDB account now just so I can start rating these movies, because this score is asinine!

After long time, I got lucky. Not as in getting laid, but as in watching a movie that not only made my day but I think, now I can wait like forever for the next good movie like "Girlfriend's Day" to watch again (hopefully with someone to get laid). Please don't do all those "Yikes" or "Ewww's". Cause this one was really super awesome. From every single point of view i.e. direction, acting, music and what not. Real-life like performances by Bob Odenkirk and Amber Tamblyn with not-so-good movie script and story are the reasons I'm celebrating tonight. There are more than one reasons to mark this movie as a "must watch" and a "repeat watch" for myself.

The pace is very slow. The plot is very thin, and lacks intensity or thrill. It just could have easily been shortened to half the time. The plot is a bit unlikely and contrived.
