As soon as i heard about this film, i really wanted too see it. I was (and still am) fan of quirky dramas / dark comedies (Royal Tenenbaums, Pallbearer, Eulogy) so i was looking forward to this film. to be honest, and i knew the premise before hand, people sitting around talking rubbish, it was bit boring. I thought i'd like that style, but as i say, just found it boring. IMO the best skit was Steve Coogan & Alfred Molina's "Cousins?" where they debate that they might be related and we see aduring fans come and meet molina while not knowing who coogan was and he attempts to name drop to get some attention. In a way, its the most mainstream segment, so what does that say about me?? Another reason i wanted to see this was bill murray, who is pretty much brilliant in anything. Though may be bias, his skit with rappers RZA & Genius was second best skit. An example of the bordem was a segment Renée which was a scene where tihs woman just sits there and drinks coffee, thats it. i'm all for arty stuff, but c'mon? Though when it was funny it was very funny, Bill murray, Molina, Coogan, iggy pop too and some of white stripes stuff was good, but i expected more.
overall i was mostly just disappointed by it, maybe deserves a rewatch.
