artdeco42-1 The first scene is amazing. Megan Neuringer is devastating to our hero on their date and so unique looking while doing it. I can barely keep up with the facial and physical quirkiness of Sarah Burns throughout the movie, and I think Adam Palley's character feels the same way. I think there is a lot or truth in this movie than most people are comfortable admitting. The supporting actors are all great too, very strong cast. Great music too.

Sunny Sweetspot I found this movie hilarious...but I am a geek so it fits. Remember the line in Animal House? "Fat Drunk and Stupid Is No Way to Go Through Life Son.....?" Yep this movie has a a lot of moments like this...it is very quirky...I live in Tacoma...and so this movie made me laugh...Pierce County is like being in a form of hell for smart people...so I found this movie very funny because I have learned the truths of why cool people seem cool at a certain age and then they don't. My favorite line..."about the guy in prison making a whole room of women run after and fight over a guy that...can't read...." why is America like this? esp. Pierce Co? Last year a very good friend died...I knew when she married the guy that could not read (because he looked good in a leather jacket and on a Harley) she would die early and she did...but everyone thought they were cool. I Like literate People....LITERATE, LITERALLY, so this movie...is clever...and probably why a lot of people do not think it is comical. Ultimately we all learn...staying drunk...makes you seem cool, if only to yourself....Especially in Pierce Co. Tacoma is one drunken town...this movie IS funny and accurate. Maybe I am cynical now? I laughed my ass off. Ya gotta right? I found a lot of truths in this spoof...and the acting was perfect...for a comedy, enjoy.

BluePoetProductions Much in the vein of an eighties or early nineties structured story arc, "Slow Learners" is a fun take on the classic transformation from Geek to Chic, only to find out it's not all that it's cracked up to be. But in this case instead of it being a couple of kids going to high school, it's the school's librarian and guidance councilor, feeling unfulfilled with their lives, deciding to change their reps, during summer break. Hilarious casting by the legendary Allison Jones, puts amazing comic actors in the able hands of directors Sheena Joyce and Don Argott, as they take their first leap out from documentary features to this Rom-com, that hits all the right story beats from start to finish.

michaelblehrman Having been a big fan of Adam Pally from his TV work, I perhaps was hoping too much for a big screen Happy Endings. This movie is far from that. Though it has its funny moments, especially the opening sequence, and certainly Pally is frequently adorable and even heart breaking, the writing and direction here are so disjointed that i felt like it was three different movies patched together into one. The only time the movie, and Pally, really came to life was in the scenes with Pally's character and his parents. Those rang true, were funny and heart warming. And there was real chemistry among those characters. There was no chemistry between Pally and the object of his affection here, played by Sarah Burns. Her over the top performance and annoying facial tics did nothing to make me like this character or want the leads to end up together. The writing and directing are probably more to blame than Ms. Burns (they gave Mr. Pally a few facial tics of his own that were equally annoying). In the end, everything rings false and you know where it's going from start to finish.
