The best part about this movie was the music score. And that was average. The movie reminded me of a snapshot of anyone's life. Why would I want to watch that? It wasn't funny, it wasn't suspenseful, and it wasn't witty. The writing was bland. There was zero plot. One of the characters in the movie mentioned the company was running on fumes. I think the movie itself was running on fumes.
The main character also smokes a lot. I've always found that directors who feel their characters need a "smoke prop" are using it to make up for the lack of something in the movie. In this case the movie lacked an actual plot.
