The trailer sold me, but I can't see myself going to the movie theater for this.

I would like to think this will go to streaming fairly quick.

reminds me of the stapler guy from Office Space if they decided to expand on his character.

Trailer didn't sell me on the comedy beats. Felt more serious than it should.

The full picture could change that. But if the comedy beats fall short, it won't surprise me.

Jon Hamm has struggled for a decade to get a decent script.

Just finished this. This is an odd movie. It is sort of like listening to Patrick Bateman's internal monologue about business cards crossed with some Being John Malkovich, crossed with something else. It was good if this is your thing. The oddness reminded me of The Lobster a little, or something similar.

The writing and the way everything is shot and laid out is very clean and sterile, it goes along with the theme of the film and what's going on inside Jon Hamm's head. Jon Hamm also looks like Geraldo Rivera throughout the whole thing.

I'd give it a 7/10 because it is the type of odd that interests me and I enjoyed. Could easily see people hating it though and being bored throughout.

And to Jayrebb's point above about Comedy. It is way more serious. I wouldn't even consider this a Dark Comedy really, not by today's standards.

I wish it was 7 out of 10 but it kind of failed to hit any of the marks it was going for. I guess I did watch it all the way through without fast forwarding which is rare these days.
