Review of Heavy Times

** Some light spoilers ** This movie walks that razor's edge between incredibly frustrating and outright nonsense. It walks it perfectly, though. The Uncle Rick character is brilliant. And the dynamic between the three protagonists is spot on. Overall I think for an independent movie this rates very high. I really appreciated the ending as well. It made me smile. Of the three protagonists the character Mark was brilliant. He was funny with a wonderful groan-worthy delivery. If you love movies like The Hangover and love uncomfortable comedy like BBC's version of The Office then you will love this movie. While the Uncle Rick character steals the show for most of the movie, the introduction of Gunther at the turning point of the movie is well played. He becomes a crazier character which is hard to believe considering everything Rick has put us through up to that point.
