Dinner & Driving
Picture: The picture was presented in color, full frame format. It was a little soft on the focus at times but otherwise looked pretty good for a first time director.
Sound: Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo with little separation but a well done soundtrack.
Extras: None
Final Thoughts: The performances of the entire cast were dead on (except for the over the top cameo by SNL's Molly Shannon), the script well thought out, and entirely believable. The humor ranged from sublime (such as when the lead, an aspiring writer who teaches English to adults from various countries finds their linguistic abilities lacking) to near slapstick (when his friend runs miles to meet him after cheating on his wife). In all, it explored modern relationships far more realistically than virtually anything I've seen come out of Hollywood in years-not bad for a small, independent release that fell below the radar of most critics. Joey Slotnick, the lead here, reminded me of a funny, younger version of Woody Allen so it's a shame that he hasn't caught the eye of casting directors (outside of some television series and a handful of roles, he's practically unnoticed). I'm recommending it as highly recommended to anyone with so much as a passing interest in the romantic comedy genre.
