    I really the concept of this movie, and most of the acting. It was the acting of Matt D'Elia that nearly ruins the movie. I just can't believe him as a person; the performance lacks subtlety. D'Elia also wrote and directed this movie -- and did both of those things very well. This a great example of directors being very bad at directing themselves, especially in the lead role. You can't objectively judge yourself. I've never seen him in anything else, so I can't say altogether that he is a bad actor, but in the future shouldn't direct himself. The movie was funny, but not goofy or wacky funny. It was really more of an uncomfortable, somewhat darker sort of humor. Jimmy's antics are a type of unhealthy escape for him. Not recommended for those who are looking for a light laugh, but is worth watching if you like darker humor. There is some interesting psychology going on in it.
