Guy Thing, A

This dud – about a groom-to-be (Jason Lee) who wakes up after his bachelor party with a strange woman (Julia Stiles) in his bed – misfires on all levels: as a romance, a
crude comedy and a quirky character study. The main culprits are stale gags and a cast that’s largely devoid of comedic talent. Lee, the only funny actor here, sinks as if the surrounding material were quicksand.

Drama Rated NR

“… aims to be a big-screen version of a lurid pulp crime novel.”

Xiao Wu (Pickpocket) (1997)

Drama Rated NR

“… a scrappy, neo-realist tale of societal scrounging that’s paused by poetic moments of slow cinema.”

Tropical Malady (2004)

Drama Rated NR

“Unusually sensitive, in the sense that every element seems to pulse with its own life force. . .”
