FLOUNDERING has the kind of insight and genuinely profound and engaged thinking that most "serious" Hollywood films only wish they had. As a whole work, it goes a little astray when it gets caught up in the need to have a traditional "plot" - the last third isn't nearly as good as the first - but its honest humour and sensitivity far outweigh its shortcomings. The cameos work, especially Steve Buscemi's, and add to the movie's appeal. I bought this movie on video so I could watch it again and again, whenever I need to remember that films really CAN be thoughtful, creative and original.
