Quirky Comedy,
This is a great film. I didn’t know what kind of comedy it was going to be, but it was dry, quirky and much funnier than it would have been if it was over-the-top straight comedy. David Koechner is hilarious! Definitely a must see.

|A slice of life that I can relate to.,
As a college professor who just recently got tenure, I can certainly relate to this film. For a comedy, it manages to deliver steady amusement rather than any real laughs. The film does an excellent job capturing the pressure (and self-introspection) of the tenure process, as well as, the absurdity of faculty politics. Luke Wilson is playing the same basic character we’ve seen before, but (even so) was a good choice for the lead. All in all, a good way to pass the time–especially for academics who don’t take themselves too seriously.

|Expectations make or break this DVD,
Being as this received little to no ad support and the amount of customers asking for this has been nil, I had only ordered a few copies. Once I finished watching this slightly tedious piece though, I felt the main success would be from those expecting a quiet melancholy college life film, supplanted with a loser filled dark humor theme. Throw in a significant Bigfoot search subplot with Koechner leading that charge, and you have a strange little independent film.
Wilson is his normal self here playing the morose professor fighting for his tenure, with a perverse sidekick in Koechner (who never really goes into the slapstick/sight gag realm here – he is just plain weird), and one bizarre role of the Alzheimer’s dad played by Bob Gunton. No memorable performances, but maybe a couple of laughs, so if you expect nothing (no outright Luke Wilson/Koechner laughorama lines here) then you will be slightly entertained. The writing was skewed towards awkward moments in every day life that almost become unbelievable, but Wilson has the power to convey that with his known looks of confusion.
The picture quality is good and the sound is solid for being a first-time feature from this group. The special features are scant and include several minutes of deleted scenes and gags. The entire gag reel is Koechner doing everything he is famous for – so in that aspect this DVD might be worthy enough for you. The only deleted scene worth watching is Koechner being chased by Bigfoot. 3.75 for the film and DVD quality and .25 for the supplements. Region 1 coded.
