How can you not love Timothy Hutton! Great job by all the cast members and especially loved the scenes with actress Paris Rose Yates as Elizabeth's best friend!

It's like Brooks Branch was reading my diary, April 6 2012

I can't remember where I saw a reference to this film but I owe whomever tweeted about it, mentioned it on FB, or what have you a debt of gratitude. It spoke to me completely in the sense that all three main characters resonated with my own experiences. I guess the reviewer who hated it so profoundly hasn't experienced the combination of bad timing, ambivalence, and cold feet that seems to dictate the course of so many relationships, nor pondered whether the consequences of our actions or inactions in this context are somehow fated by our deep character flaws or rather within our control. For me a huge portion of the film rang very true, and the parts that didn't still worked as hyperbole to add emphasis and humor. I also thoroughly appreciated the original and refreshing art direction and the soundtrack. And while not a feel-good film, the bittersweet treatment of the characters is handled without meanness or cynicism. To all involved, from the writer/director to the cast and production team, I can only say "well done indeed!"

GAG!, Aug 18 2011
By M. Minkler - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NEW Multiple Sarcasms (DVD) (DVD)
A pretentious piece of trash, the dialogue seems to be taken with trying to convince us how these characters are sophisticated New York intellectuals as they make references to behaving like white trash (heaven forbid) yet their favorite expletive is the f-bomb. Then they go on a vagina tirade and it seems they play a game of how many times they can get the word into a 2 minute scene like naughty little school boys who just learned what the word means. Who uses the word vagina anyway other than medical people? Taking the Lord's name in vain seems like an after thought as though the director realized they hadn't offended enough people so he crammed it in several times nearer the end. It seems to me if being "white trash" was so abhorrent to them perhaps cleaning up their mouths might be a good place to start improving.The title even strikes me as pretentious drivel. Timothy Hutton seems to be stuck in the typewriter, scruffy beard, bathrobe, professor look these days. I think we're supposed to care about these characters but I didn't like any of them (even the precocious kid). Oh, and let's not forget the token relationship enlightened Gabriel has with his gay friend. If I were gay I'd be offended at this attempt to appeal to me. People used to make fun of white people who told black people that they had a black friend. This movie is telling us Gabriel is so with it he has a real gay friend!..... The movie is so ridiculous it's embarrassing.
I doubt the movie will receive the reviews the fake playwright did in this pseudo-intellectual dud. My advice to the producer "bury it at sea some cold dark night" and then hope we all forget.
Listmania!
