Spooner (2009)
6/10
Sensitive juvinalesque grown up fun film
20 April 2011
Warning: Spoilers
I watched this with very little idea of what to expect or what it was about other than a 29yr old who lives with his parents but has to move out on his upcoming birthday, and that probably helped me enjoy it more.

Its a slow nothing much happens type of movie, but it keeps you watching in anticipation of something interesting, and although it never really provides that something your waiting for it still holds the attention and never quite becomes the predictable ''childish man gets dream girl without having to grow up'' that the viewer expects it to be from the outset. The soundtrack is upbeat and appropriate, the characters likable and border on being fun to watch without my truly knowing why/how, the acting is good-actually i cannot think of anything i didn't like about the film other than the fact that when it ended i wanted it to go on longer even though technically nothing much had happened and the plot was,well, boring as plots go, yet still seemed to work and compel me to watch it happily. (which i know sounds like its not worth watching-but it somehow is and i recommend it a lot more than the 6 stars i gave it, i just couldn't get myself to give it more stars due to fact i have given worse films 7 just because i could see a small specific reason i liked them such as special effects/plot/moments of action that stood out even though they technically sucked-this film nothing much happens at all-yet it did'nt suck so go watch it and see for your selves!)....
