The film reflects every-day life of young twenty-somethings. If you enjoy sitting in a room with people passing gossip about people you dont know, then this may just be your bag. If you find listening to worthless immature relationship chatter entertaining than this may be worth your time.

Kate Dollenmayer makes this movie worth watching. I'm not sure I've ever seen such a natural presence on screen. As the viewer, you find yourself drawn into her world, and through her sublime performance you get a sense of her from the inside out. I found myself going back to certain scenes and re-playing them. This is a movie for certain tastes. But, if you are patient and can move with the character of Marnie, the is a film worth your attention.

You may applaud the veracity of FUNNY HA HA without actually enjoying the film. The lead performance by newcomer Kate Dollenmayer is a kind of record-setter: every moment is super-believable. This young woman takes to the camera like the proverbial duck to water. Extraordinary! I wish I could say the same for the script and direction by Andrew Bujalski, which aims to capture post-collegiate life and achieves this--without every being more than marginally interesting. Other than Dollenmayer's character, the others are so vacuous, sometimes approaching stupid (particularly the men), that the less-than-90-minute running time seems long. Do young men today REALLY sound this inappropriate and juvenile? I understand that girls mature faster than boys, but this is ridiculous. Perhaps today's higher education is a lot lower than I imagined. However you end up feeling about the movie, I suspect you'll agree that it's pretty hard to like. My "nearly" three stars are due purely to Dollenmayer.
