Jack Goes Boating (2010)

[Edgy MD]

Jack is a limo driver with horrible hair under a nearly omnispresent touque and is about as anonymous as anybody in the the NYC region --- until he gets fixed up with Connie, a pastey introvert noticed only by the perverts she seems to be a magnet for.

Despite both their lack of experience or self-esteem, they stumble into a relationship. As they progress, though, the couple who fixed them up turns out to be a disastrous cautionary tale.

For those of you who bemoan the stupidity and shallowness and contriveyness of relationship movies, here's one about real people --- but it may (or may not) make you long for the fluff of the Amy Adams/Ryan Reynolds type of dealios, because while the DVD box promises hilarity, there's little forthcoming, but rather odd snickers and occasional graces (and graces are wonderful things) among terrifically awkward long silent shots and real --- but mortifyingly embarassing --- situations.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman stars, produces, directs... caters too, I guess.

I just saw it. Liked it more than I thought I would and I thought I would like it.

A quiet movie without gimmicks. Two couples going in opposite directions.

I guess he was attempting rasta hair or something.

I don't know who Ryan Reynolds is.
