I don't know what problem people have with writing smart and happy guys into a buddy comedy, but no one seems to be able to do it.
In this movie, two guys act dumb and obedient towards each other. Every other scene shows no self preservation, human traits, or will to survive...
Olivia Dudley plays someone with common sense, and her character spends the entire film standing up for herself.
It's clear that Carson Mells is trying to break down the "act tough" or "act pretty" alternate personalities we all carry around, and being a human-being does sell, however we put on those alternate personalities as defense in the real world. So what is shown in this movie is two guys with a total disconnect from the real world, instead of being a part of it like everyone else.
It would be better to see two guys expressing nervousness, frustration, tourettes, electric excitement, excessive nerdiness, etc... Real social, human traits, that people can connect to.
