Hudson lives alone, watches The Golf Channel all day, can't hang on to a relationship, shoplifts in order to get his adrenalin up off the floor, fears that thinking about his dad's death will bring it to pass, loathes his mother, and in general, is as nutty as a peanut farm. Obsessed with the underlying sadness that infuses his wretched existence, Hudson is a man in hell, but he thinks that his long catalog of dismally unsatisfying and mutually self-destructive relationships is over when Sarah stumbles into his life. He knows she can save him. She knows he has to save himself. Together they just may save each other.

Been there done that I ain't going Back.....I hope. The Mother in this movie so much like Someone I am related to.
Film is giving it best shot to provide unpolished picture of people and how they are not making the norms set by society and still go along living.

But somewhere along the line the script just wasn't right - couple of curves were made straight and it felt untrue and pretentious in the final scenes. It does make a watchable movie but not great movie.
Wow....this one spoke to me on a whole different level - and, i can't wait to get my hands on the DVD!

I watched it on HBO - and, though it dealt with depersonalization, it still spoke to me on a level that's hard to explain. I'm dealing with depression, and a whole whack of other things - and, i could see me in Matt's character. It was funny, yet...i had some tears going on some parts.
This is really a must watch for anybody that wants to get into the head of a depressed person a little bit. It actually delves deeper than i thought it would...and....wow!
Excellent acting from matthew perry, enjoyed this movie but probably wouldnt want to watch it agian.
i have a bias for this thing because this is one of few charcters that i can really and truly understand, which makes the movie so much better...but all that aside, its a pretty simple pretty easy going movie...
This movie actually makes me feel better about my own mental problems. LOL
Depi film egy szokatlanul jozanul jatsszo Matthew Perry-vel. A film cime kelloen jol eltalalt hisz mire a vegere ertem en is kb ugy ereztem magamat.
A well done film about depersonality disorder - and yes, that is a real disorder, folks.

The film is wonderfully done - Perry does an extraordinary job of displaying the disorder in all it's complications. Steenburgen is wonderful comic relief as a cognitive psychologist. Some complained of the slowness of the film, the depressive nature, but I felt this was incredibly necessary to the film itself to understand just what Perry's character was feeling and struggling with. Loved it.
Great Movie, Very Moving. love to watch it agin and agin... which i have done before :P
Poli kali tainia. Poli kaloi dialogoi kai o "Chandler" einai arketa kalos.
