I have to admit being disappointed in this; having been exposed to some of Tom's good stuff, I expected more of the same.
What blew it for me is that, although it is largely entertaining, it has about as much depth as your typical TV sitcom, and so it's pretty hard to regard it as anything but superficial fluff.
Also, the whole thing plays like a huge New York in-joke, but a lot of it will be lost on people who can't identify with that megalopolis.
That might explain why most of the rave reviews are by people from, guess what, New York.
Anyway, it serves as a good example of the hazards of a brilliant Indie filmmaker venturing too close to the mainstream.
