Alright so I did not fall asleep. But only because I watched this movie in the morning and that was virtually impossible after a great night in bed. "The Tao of Zzzzz" is a movie supposedly based on true events. The story of a man whose attitude leads him to live the life of a Casanova even though his looks should deter any woman from his proximity. While the idea of seeing the extent of the pickup artist mastery is great, in the movie there's really nothing to get a grip on and you end up navigating into a dullness universe where looking at your strawberry jam jar on the table is equally entertaining. If the reason to watch the movie is to see if you can integrate some tips into your pick up routines, then I recommend you read "The Game" or some other pick up artist book.If the reason to watch this movie is solely for its cinema value: good luck!

I had this movie on my radar, but somehow it fell off. I stumbled upon it again and was delighted.Slacker, stoner, act like you want nothing or no one and you'll never be disappointed. Don't chase after women, and you'll get them.The non-studly types have to have some kind of a formula. Dex (Donal Logue) has Chinese philosophy to guide him and it appears to be working. He is getting laid regularly from a beautiful woman (Ayelet Kaznelson), who happens to be married. No problems with commitment there.Everything appear to be working for Dex until he meets a woman (Greer Goodman) who is not falling for his line and is definitely not interested in him. The philosophy he uses to catch women is catching him and he is falling in love. Now, there will be pain and loss Logue is outstanding in the role of the slacker and is incredibly funny when he is laying out his philosophy. Goodman is spot on as the object of desire for Dex. It was a funny, romantic movie that will be worth watching again.

Had no idea just how I was going to like this film and decided to stick it out. Donal Logue,(Dex)"Two Days",'03, was a very horny guy who decided he had the right formula to trick gals into going to bed and just never seemed to get satisfied. Dex would jump from one bed, look out the window and chase a skirt in a car up a few blocks and really hit on his victim. Greer Goodman,(Syd), somewhat understood Dex and had slept with him years back, which Dex simply forgot and proceeded to hit on her like any other gal. This type of situation when on through out the entire picture, with Dex trying to convince his buddies to use his formula for women. Dex was definitely over sexed and wanted to get "LAID" all the time and even with married woman. Decide for yourself if this film is for you, and maybe it is?

The script was top-notch as well as the acting, especially Donal Logue.The Tao of Steve is a code that Dex(Logue) and his friends live by for attracting the opposite sex. One must be desire-less, be excellent and be gone. Dex lives by this creed faithfully until he is reintroduced to a college fling he can't seem to remember, Syd(well acted by a sensitive Greer Goodman). Syd proves to be too advanced intellectually to be swayed by the power of The Tao, so Dex must reevaluate his life in order to attract her.Dex is an average lazy, rather obese man that avoids the stresses of life, through smoking weed and practicing apathy. To be honest, I don't know if Dex deserves a second chance with Syd, but I liked the character regardless and rooted for him.A well done comedy that will tickle your funny bone.
