Didn't see a thread for this so i thought i'd start one.

I checked this out today and really, really loved it.
I've always been a fan of Patton Oswalt's stand up, his film geekiness has served him well in finding a leading project that will remind some of Rupert Pupkin in King of Comedy. His performance is downright special. Robert Siegel is still a much more talented writer than director but for a first time feature without any real education or experience in the medium he does a fine job.
The cast is full of great character actors, Kevin Corrigan, Michael Rapaport, Matt Servitto and Marcia Jean Kurtz (every Brooklyn based film should have her).
A great, highly recommended character piece!
