A whimsical yet realistic portrayal of the american underclass. The first half of it was quite a lot of nothing, luckily I found it hilarious at times. Perhaps its my low sense of humor but I found Mikey's shamelessness to be quite funny and its all consistently there throughout the runtime. Even though the cast aren't all professionals and some of them are first timers, they deliver a great and convincing performances. The characters also have unpretentious motivation and they're easy to understand. While it is a funny movie it is also a very sad story about a character who has a great hope for a better life but she puts all that hope into a messy narcissist that keeps running from his problems. The movie could be much better if everything that happens doesn't happen so easily and there should be more struggle for the main character. And if they polished it a little bit by cutting some unnecessary scenes. Still its Sean's best movie so far, the shots are amazing and its not empty, it has something to say about the places that are in it. It's also very cool to see how effectively Sean does his set up and pay off for the story.
