BlueJulia21877 I just saw this movie on WE Network and felt compelled to comment. I mean it was just, like, totally delightful! Hal Salwen has the world we live in pegged perfectly! Schreiber is spot on as the repressed shut-in, and Ubach is a standout as the quirky Denise who's struggling to reach out from her own little enclosed space. Hooray for everyone, cast and Salwen, for just a wonderfully sly, bittersweet, but ultimately satisfying experience!

johnny-143 Unfortunately, I did not see this as "being right up there with 2001". Idid, however, find it not unlike looking in a mirror. For two hours.With nothing else going on. And so it goes. The plot. Moved forward. Atabout. This pace. And the camera. Never moved. It was like. Beingtrapped. In a room. With Ben Stein. For two hours. There are some gameperformances amidst all this nonsense though, but mostly you feel sorryfor the actors- clearly they thought the director had a 'concept' thatwas worth humiliating themselves for. The director didn't, soconsequently you have a bunch of pretty talented people talking intophones for two hours. And the camera, I'm not kidding, DOES NOT MOVE.Perhaps this was shot for computer screens, I don't know, but it suredoesn't work as a film.

BWag Sure, everyone has this sort of relationship, more phone call than interaction, but ain't it a shame... These are some of the most alienated, dysfunctional people I have ever seen. They're so detached they can't get up and answer the doorbell for a party they're hosting. Or even go to a friend's funeral. This is fabulous ensemble acting, a fact made the more rionic because none of these people actually encounter each other physically. (Of course, writing this commentary on a computer and transmitting it via modem is even more ironic.

helpless_dancer Funny spoof on the high tech, alienated society we live in today.At first this film aggravated me with all the telephones ringing and no one talking face to face. However, after a few minutes I settled into the routine and enjoyed watching a group of job junkies who were unable to relate to anyone unless they had re-dial, voice mail, and speaker phones.
