I saw this film Saturday and unashamedly laughed the entire time. It was absolutely a hoot! I entitled my summary "Well Done, Charming, Hilarious, and Underrated" because this film is independent and experimental, and as such, it will not have a chance to be seen by "Joe (or Josephine) Average American" at a megaplex theater near you. Rather it will be shown in film festivals and in New York & LA to a more "sophisticated" film crowd, which is too bad for the average film goers.
The cast was impeccable - Scott Waara (who won a Tony award in 1992 for his roll in Broadway's The Most Happy Fella) was outstanding as the lead. His co-stars' Nancy Stafford (from the Mattlock TV series), Lauren Roman (from All My Children), Chris Prizzi (from Law & Order), and newcomer Anna Wang all gave equally as flawless of performances as that of Warra.
The director (Todd Albertson), the writer, and crew also did an outstanding job in storytelling and presenting the story visually & cinematography. To summarize once again, The Proverb was well done, charming, hilarious, and underrated. I encourage anyone who gets a chance to see this at a boutique showing to seize the opportunity. Twenty years from now, I am certain film students across the world will see this in their class as an example of an experimental mockumentary piece. It is that good!
