Summary: Serio-Comedy At It's Finest
Review: Definitely not for everyone...BUT...if you're adventurous enough give this low budget dark indie comedy a try. I saw it in the theater when it first came out and ever since it has been one of my favorite independents ever. Mike White is brilliant in the role of Buck as are Chris and Paul Weitz. The writing is shocking, disturbing, funny and poignant all at the same time. Even the digital is well shot and never takes you out of the film. Great soundtrack and direction by Miguel Arteta (The Good Girl).

Summary: Not for me, thanks
Review: Every director has one movie that they want to make, but shouldn't. For Miguel Arteta, that movie was the extremely unfortunate Chuck & Buck. Never mind that the transfer from the harsh original digital video presentation is of usual substandard Artisan quality- the reason for Chuck's character's psychoses is never examined....the characters are therefore left as standard stereotypes that are as deep as a mud puddle. Plotwise, it meanders and never comes to any kind of rational conclusion. The acting is tedious & drab, which is exceptionally depressing given Mike White's talent.The most appalling aspect of this movie? The overall lesson learned is that if you stalk a person long and hard enough, regardless of how often they tell you to leave them alone, you will finally win them over. Oh, well done.

Summary: sit through the painfully slow start, it'll be worth it.
Review: Great movie. Very different. It explores a side of childhood many have been through, but many do not talk about as adults. Chuck and Buck do! Very brave, funny, cutting edge, and real. If you are homophobic, skip it.
