Now You Know (2002)
10/10
Great cast, great flick
8 January 2002
As many did at Vulgarthon, I saw Jeff Anderson's new flick "Now You Know", a delightful romantic comedy that he wrote, directed and starred in. The flick starts off with Jeremy Sisto arriving at his Las Vegas bachelor party to find everyone having a good time but him, for he is the only person in the room who knows that his impending wedding has been called off. Him and his former fiance, played by Rashida Jones (the office secretary in Boston Public) are soon off to New Jersey, where the wedding was supposed to take place. Though they have the same flight home, they separate at the airport, Jones going off with best friend Heather Paige Kent, and Sisto going off to hang with his old friend Biscuit and pal Jeff Anderson. Hilarity and emotion ensue as Rashida tries to figure out why her ex acted so cold to her while Sisto tries also to figure out what went wrong, while having with Jeff breaking into houses and getting drunk. The acting is top notch. Seeing Jeff Anderson in a role again was amazing and he acted incredibly, added on with the fact that he was directing himself. Jeremy Sisto's performance is the only one with a poor performance, not so much poor as you just have trouble rooting for the guy who mopes around the whole movie. The gem of the film is Biscuit, played by Trevor Fehrman, who is a near riot every time he's on screen, the perfect foil for almost-straight-man Anderson. Jeff Anderson had said that the film hadn't even been completed yet, it still need some editing and titles, credits, and such, and the Vulgarthon people were the first to see the film, even seeing the film first before the stars and the crew. The bad? It wrapped up a little too nicely in the end. That and Jeff Anderson said he wanted to focus alot more on writing than acting (do yourself a favor if you read this Jeff, you should star in about 5 movies a year, you are incredible!). All in all, and incredible flick I can't wait to see again, the Biscuit alone makes it well worth it.
