Running Funny

Kept waiting for this film to "say" something or go somewhere
This film was free through my Amazon Prime membership, so I gave it a try. The script and the director were trying to make a statement about the Millennial Generation, I believe. However, despite my patiently waiting for the film to "say" something or go somewhere, it just didn't happen. The crumbling friendship between the two lead characters wasn't believable. To the contrary, I could scarcely believe they were ever friends at all because of their extreme differences: one being aggressively obnoxious and shallow while the other is painfully introverted and contemplative.

NOT UNFFAMILIAR STRUGGLES OF THE YOUNG
Fun little story about two guys who the usual aspirations after getting out of school - the boys are certainly likeable, and easy to understand their conflicts. But it's Louis Zorich who steals the day. This perennial actor has been around a long time - and even has a small role in "Friends and Family" as a humorous mobster. Sure warn those who care about such things, this is not a gay film. The interplay between the two boys who seems to have different aspirations carries the film along. Not earth-shaking. If you have time from other more gripping tales, watch it, but don't hold your breath expecting anything earth-shaking.

it was better than OK.
An interesting dynamic among the characters. It was worth a view. It was not as engrossing nor compelling as some others.
