"pleasingly meaty and smart movie... An impressive supporting cast, including David Cross, Jack Black, Maura Tierney, Melora Walters and Odenkirk himself."
- Jim Bawden, TORONTO STAR


"amazing and delicious... a little comedy packed with deep-dish surprises."

- Jim Bawden, TORONTO STAR

"Excellently written and directed... Huzzah! Odenkirk makes one hell of a filmmaker."

- Eric Campos, FILM THREAT

"...one of the best films you'll get to see this year..."

- Joe Chindley, MACLEAN'S


Melvin sleeps in his office. His sister finds this troubling, and not just because she's his boss. If she knew how often he wasn't alone when he slept there she still wouldn't fire him. She'd tell Mom and Dad, and this would be another kind of hell.

The fact that he gave up his medical career doesn't help much either. Such is Melvin's existence when he accidentally speeddials his old friend Joey, who invites Melvin to dinner. When he shows up, Joey is sitting with two women, Sarah and Alex.

The conversation trips effortlessly into the realm of marital infidelity, religion, fetishes, a guy in heaven wearing a wizard's jersey, cigarettes and schizophrenia, stewardesses, ghosts and how it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
