This was a pretty great movie. I would not have guessed that. 😉
Dinner in America merges genres seemlisly, creating something that is entertaining, heartwarming, thought provoking, funny, and dramatic. At its core its a coming of age romantic comedy, but with the energy of Fight Club. It doesn't take itself so seriously to come of pretentious, and has a genuine punk rock vibe.
Patty is such a sweet heart weirdo you can't help but fall in love with. Simon is angry and punk rock. He doesn't come across as one dimensionally though. His character has some depth.
I also love how uncomfortable Simon's presence in the suburbian landscape makes me feel. The relationship of Simon and Patty is just as uncomfortable. That dissonance resolves by the end of the movie.
If you saw the trailer or synopsis and you are on the fence about watching, stop reading reviews and just watch this movie. You'll have. Heck you might even cry!
