Dinner in America, a interesting mix of a absurd comedy romance, filled with over the top characters and poking fun at everyone whilst it can. It's a fun and easy movie to watch, and flew by.
Directing was perfectly fine, it looks the part, colors are great and some scenes really stick out. Besides that it's fairly standard.
Story/writing/acting, this is the meat and potatoes of the movie and is where it is strongest, the writing with the oddball characters instantly made it interesting to me, the whole contrast of Simon versus Patty, and the family dinners scenes were great. It's writing borders on parody and it makes the movie a lot of fun, with some standout funny moments. It's not a typical comedy with a joke every few minutes, but it's a nice balance between the action, romance, and comedy aspects. The story in general was good, the ending decent though I thought the whole finale was wrapped up somewhat quick. I wish we spend a bit more time with them after the basement scene. Music is good too.
Acting is strong, Gallner shows again he can handle pretty much any role and is making me want to find more of his work, and Skeggs surprised me with her quirky, fun and endearing performance. Perfectly cast.
Fun and quirky movie that went under the radar.
