Made on a shoestring by the Duplass brothers, it's a sweetly quirky story about two brothers, one increasingly fed-up girlfriend and a big puffy chair. What more could you possibly want?

It's amazing how it nails the mealy-mouthed way we have of saying what we mean by dressing the same words, over and over again, in different kinds of inflection.

The dialogue captures the awkwardness and frustration of young adulthood with loving accuracy.

There is very little of real substance in there.

Jay Duplass' "The Puffy Chair" is proof that you don't need a lot of money to make a good film, just as long as you have an intelligent and sharp script combined with some convincing performances.

The irony is, it's a journey with no escape.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 8, 2006

The whole enterprise feels empty, if inoffensive.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 8, 2006

Too soon, the stuff that seemed charmingly idiosyncratic turns annoyingly odd and then just plain annoying.

Built on beats of deadpan timing and splendidly understated reaction shots.

An enjoyable road movie that feels both comfortable and completely fresh.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 21, 2006

An aching, understated treasure that vividly captures two people who just aren't clicking anymore. The movie is so small you could fit it in your pocket, and so real it hurts.
