Overview
Man-baby Lousy Carter struggles to complete his animated Nabokov adaptation, teaches a graduate seminar on The Great Gatsby, and sleeps with his best friend's wife. He has six months to live.
There is a lot to like about this movie. I thought that it did an excellent job portraying what a slacker living a mediocre existence might do if he were to be diagnosed with a terminal illness. The acting is good, the script is good, and – most importantly – it didn’t over-stay its welcome. That said…. it was just an ok watch. It is a quality oddball indie movie… I very much wanted to like it more than I did.
