humanophobia I don't know how or why this movie got made, and more importantly I don't care. The cast led me to believe this unknown title could not go wrong. You have Giamatti, Rockwell, Zahn, Ruffalo! how could you possibly go wrong with a cast like that? Well, I tried to forgive one horrible dialogue sequence after another but by the time Rockwell starts his romantic side-plot I was ready to smash the screen with anything within reach, I can't remember the last time I ever heard such atrocious dialogue. Do not watch this movie, if you know someone who owns this movie, disassociate yourself from this person and any of their acquaintances. You have been warned.

smedrock If you like extremely witty dialog humor and situational comedy then this is certainly the movie for you. This one requires at least four viewings to catch all the funny little lines. I do not collect movies. There are very few I care to watch more than once or twice. However, I own this one and have watched it about 25 times. I love turning friends/family onto it. Haven't had a "rejection" yet! Extremely quotable movie. It is no wonder that the main actors as well as the writer/director in this Indie film all have major careers in Hollywood now. If you like gag humor and think "That 70's Show" is funny... stay away from this one... you won't get it.

merklekranz "Safe Men" plays as if you took a nice assortment of Woody Allen comedies and put them through a blender. The Jewish jokes, including a hilarious bar mitzvah will appeal to the ethnic audience, while the outrageous ideas like exploding pants, will appeal to almost everyone. I have never seen Jewish stereotypes portrayed better, in part because of the incredible casting choices. Each character is so interesting, you will wish they each had more screen time. Sure it's ridiculous, but so are "Idiocracy", "Strange Wilderness", and "Office Space". Along with "Safe Men" the common thread between these comedies , is that each one will hold up to multiple viewings. - MERK

evenchaya I'm not getting into the specifics, as many here have written absolutely great comments to detail how extremely incredible this Indy treasure is. Not to mention the astounding cast; Sam Rockwell, Steve Zahn, Paul Giamatti just to name a few. I can watch this over and over again and still laugh out loud. My only question is this: why won't someone for G-d sake put this out on DVD so I can buy it????? (Not a fan of VHS - I want commentary, deleted scenes, interviews, more extras, w-i-d-e-s-c-r-e-e-n, etc., etc., etc.) So if the powers that be read this, Please get off your tuchases (sp?) and get this out on DVD!!!!! Otherwise, thank you for a great movie!!!!!
