I'm pretty critical about films so a 7 out of 10 is about as high as I go unless I think something is outstanding. The story was good in my opinion and I liked that fact the protagonist actually figured out an interesting career choice for himself which is admirable for a film to even commit to when for the last few decades it's almost become fashionable to be a self-loathing slacker and I'm not btw entirely blaming people for feeling this way as I think computers, as neat and powerful as they are, by and large have made most peoples work environments horrendously boring. Anyhow, my point is, at least they didn't have the protagonist meander back to his crappy office job or hang himself from a tree in his parents back yard while listening to some kind of grunge music although that could have actually been funny in a sick way.The only negatives I felt was that some of the acting was not very good and reminded me of the films university students make or local film clubs that can't afford actors and I've seen that actually work before since I think you can either act or you can't so sometimes you can hit gold by using totally unknowns but it's rare and I found that aspect very distracting. The way the film was shot was very good, very professional looking and I liked the production quality and there's some very nice subtle editing, flashes of light on the quick edits, that kind of thing which I thought was really creative and really added to the film. All in all I think they did an excellent job for a film that it says was made for $500,000? That's pretty much peanuts these days. I'm not sure if that's accurate but if so I am very impressed and congratulate the people who made it and look forward to their future work.

I enjoyed the film immensely. I found it to be an entertaining and touching story, with a very complex combination of comedy and poignant everyday problems we all face. The director seemed to have a true understanding of the theme. Kudos to the whole crew!!!! A pleasure to watch after most of the things we see .The filming was wonderful and the actors seemed to have a real rapport. I find it refreshing to see so much talent in the young crew. Very professional. You can tell the true talent of all involved.I hope to see much more from Dot Film . The music seemed to fit the whole theme as well.Very well produced. The two leads were perfectly paired and played off each other in perfect timing. The whole production was very impressive.

Things To Do was a totally pleasant and unexpected surprise. I laughed so hard, I spit out my M&Ms! Everyone has gone through a traumatic event in their life that makes them reflect on, where am I going? What I am doing? There are so many things I have yet to do! Things To Do captures this beautifully and makes you laugh in the process! Hysterical moments - tennis balls and tear-away pants! The type of movie you make a part of your collection and watch again and again when you need to feel good. Great performances, look out for Daniel Wilson. Really good soundtrack, love to know where I could find it. Think Garden State meets The Royal Tenenbaums. Loved it!

This movie confuses me, I don't like his friend who is obvious a person with the IQ of a pickle. In the end I got a good feeling about the movie, apart from the rest of the movie witch I watched with great difficulties. His parent's annoy me so damn much that I almost turned off the movie, but this is also because he let those things happen to him. Still I can't understand why he doesn't do what he obvious needs to do.In the end he makes a sudden career move witch I found rather interesting because I can relate to that in my own life but for the rest he is -and I'm sorry to say it- a loser.
