It's got amazing songs and movie magic brought back to the modern age. I'll admit it doesn't have the right tone to the story but its is still a really good movie.

First off, I love bowling alleys. They are under used location and subject for American films. I relate to Jon Heder's character and his performance of a hopeful bowling manger. I believe his performance from the opening, a person depressed, battling elements out of his control. I am rooting for Jeff and all the Jeff's of the world!

Wow, i kept waiting for some indy style humor or interesting story. The movie often shows signs that something exciting or fun will happen by showing some computerized effects, but movie leads to nowhere.

Sadly this is a very boring movie. Maybe it's because I don't understand the Bowling culture but it's just a slow paced dull movie. I'm half way through it whilst writing this and I don't think I will bother till the end. I don't care about the situation, the characters or the outcome. I thought Napoleon Dynamite was brilliant and have watched this movie on the back of it's success but unfortunately it doesn't hit the grade... So for now it's getting a low rating. Edit: I didn't finish watching the movie, it really wasn't worth it. But I feel I must explain, it's not the acting, that's great, it not the directing, that's great, it's the story...indeed it's like watching a very dull documentary. Boring story. Boring scenarios. Boring action. And unfortunately it's not a comedy.

A simple, yet emotionally poignant, film about the people and places we choose to surround ourselves with. By following Jeff (Heder), director Goldberg allows the audience to feel the isolation of a single self while juxtaposing this with her conception of community and belonging. Goldberg's technical ability shines and truly elevates the story.

Costume designer Mary Mooney! I know her son! Bad seed. "Twisting my own turkey sausage" :) I'd have a talk with the landlady. "Help a brother out?" "Mind jam"? Not many people will understand but this weird repair dude is Joe S. I guess this movie didn't rate high enough for Prime to add x-ray data. Pills! Do you have a strong back? Can you drive a truck? Seems like an interview for carting bodies. Carl is it? You are an a #1 a-hole. What about Deb?! Maybe I'll be friends with Raul. The chasing nurse is not trying very hard, even in slow motion. I'm sad to say I have to give this a 2.

I really liked the overall feel of the cinematography,sets,acting,ambiance,music choices to name a few... BUT... That being said the rest of what makes a good to great movie literally the whole other half was horrendously excruciatingly slow and without substance. There was NO story. Its a week out of the life of a boring guy whos about to lose his job. Where you would expect a grand plan to form and be carried out either comically or seriously depending on the genre to save said boring guys job there is nothing of note. You expect something to happen to make worthwhile the couple hours youve devoted to watching this and it just never does. Boring guy boring job boring lay off and then it ends. I rarely review movies and i watch movies daily so when i come across something this bad that i deem so without merit that I feel bound to warn off others? It really really really has to have left me with the feeling of being robbed of time i could've better spent staring at a blank wall. Do yourself the favor take my advice don't watch this its bad

I think the movie was trying to capture some kind of beauty within the lives of some small town people living a simple kind of life but it really didn't. If there was any capture of anything at all it was the sense that you are witnessing a failed movie. I think in life occasionally things just don't come together for a complex array of reasons & movies aren't any different. You know it's happened to you! Goldberg & cast will probably go on & make a piece of magic next weekend.

I don't know where to even start with this mess. You could somehow watch any average person go about their day and it would honestly be more entertaining. I made it as far as I could but had to give up, it was that bad. I don't know how someone wrote this and thought it was good, or how someone else read it and paid to make it, someone else saw the finished product and distributed it, etc. How did nobody in the process go 'hey guys, this is below substandard, les pack it in...'
