Synopsis

Richard Swersey (John Hawkes) is a newly single shoe salesman and father of two boys who is prepared for amazing things to happen. But when the captivating and spontaneous Christine Jesperson (Miranda July) enters his life, he panics. Christine is an artist and ""Eldercab"" driver who vacillates between heartbreak and faith as she weaves together reality and the fantastical in her art and life. Meanwhile, Richard’s sons have no such hesitation.

It's delicately imaginative and has its very own creative vision. Many films feel forced or go along with mainstream structures and storylines. Watching this is like entering into a world where people are less afraid to be themselves. Miranda July's refreshingly light and offbeat script is performed well with the actors, who seem to know what July is aiming for, if she is aiming for anything in particular at all.

Miranda July has a nice ass, I mean... I liked this movie. It's nothing amazing but I did enjoy it even though the acting was kinds spotty in some parts. John Hawkes was cool.

While it had some endearing moments, I found myself think the same thought throughout the film: Is this film aware of how stupid it is? I'm fine with quirk, but real people don't act like this. If this was just a parody or satire, this would be fine. But it's obvious that July wants the characters to feel real and three-dimensional. Most of the time, they just don't. Nice poop joke, though.
