The move The Goods opened this weekend, and this search is for reviews of the movie.

My Take: although there were a few LOL moments, the movie is uneven. The gags and, in particular, the speeches, are too long. Turn the speeches into visual comedy and this could have been a decent 23 minute film. There were too many characters, and I can't think of one strong performance by any of them. Too bad. It's not that there aren't funny people in this film, but the characters don't seem to have any affinity for each other, and the plot doesn't create the dramatic interest needed to create the sympathy for the characters. The main character's inexplicable voyage into the desert removes him from the plot at what should have been the most critical (read: funniest) part of the film. Bummer.

On the other hand I did enjoy 500 Days of Summer last week.
