Free Lunch (2005)
The ending has to Go.
Saw this thing in Harrisburg PA at a small festival while I was on Visiting my sister. Other than the ending being a contrived sack of garbage, this film was pretty cool. I can tell it had a cool premise, and probably had a good screenplay, but it looks like the director was hijacked by a band of crappy actors. Actually I should say ACTRESSES. As bad as some of the men were, literally every female in this thing puts about as much emotive thought into their characters as a typical porno film. The two male leads are like cardboard cutouts, and no one really is worth a damn as a thespian until you look at the supporting cast. The two hispanic crack heads are awesome. The Goldfarb character is awesome. What happens to the housing inspector is awesome. There are little snippets of joy in this film spread throughout the train wreck. And just when it really captured my interest, It ended... Then the ending happens and I was like "what the hell was that?" I mean, SO pointless. I can tell this would be a way better film if they would have stretched it out into a feature and lopped off the crappy third act. Oh well. Maybe the director is planning a trilogy like George Lucas.
