Richard McMurray's first novel was a success, but his second novel is sitting unfinished on his computer in his house, which his wife just locked him out of. After a speaking engagement at a local college, Richard accepts the invitation from two sexy college students to crash on their couch. He should only be there for a day or two but legal battles with his soon-to-be ex-wife, pressures from his editor and publisher, and more importantly, his new-found inspiration just might keep him there longer. He's using them as his muses, they're using him for writing guidance, but what are they all supposed to do about that sexual tension?

| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...a sporadically watchable yet thoroughly inconsequential piece of work... |
| User ReviewBill BThought provoking. I loved getting into the head of a writer! |
| User ReviewSzabolcs GIt seems that writing about writing never goes out of style... Loved it, though. (And Alex, I adore you!) |
| User ReviewStephanie EMatt was like "Hey let's watch this. You'll like it" and I was like "NoIwon'tlikeitIdon'twanna!" It was good. I really enjoyed it :) |
| User ReviewJonny Wbe warned. I really enjoyed this movie. Its wit and intelligence raise it up to the level of worthy flicks. However, many people may hate it. |
| User ReviewPaul KPost-modern musing. Fiction within fiction, kind of like an updated French Lieutenants Woman. Reminds me a little of the verbal sparring in Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, hence the post-modern label. What if your life were a novel you could create and erase and revise as you chose to - or do you do that already, in your imagination? See what that looks like in a real life setting, played out. How far do you let your imagination play out in your real life, and what is the responsibility of a writer to the people he draws inspiration and material from? Should everyone look at a character based on themselves objectively? Or is it just semantics sugar-coating an attitude toward life that condones using people casually for "work"? Might make you ask the question, is fiction reality? Interesting like a crossword puzzle is - entertaining mental gymnastics, but stranger, and some tips about writing you probably didn't get in English 101. Incessantly flirting with life's seldom-considered, but perhaps always present, questions. |
| User ReviewPrivate UInteresting movie about writing fiction from inside the writers head. |
| User ReviewXuan PAwesome movie about writing. At times it feels Allenesque -maybe even Bergmanesque (in a big stretch), in a good way, but then it sort of picks up it's own style and rhythm. It has its moments of inspired cleverness. The pace is nice, the performances are dead-on target (as usual with Campbell). But towards the end the whole thing feels more like it ran out of gas and it sort of dies down without much flare. I think more could have been done with each of the characters, but that's just me dreaming up another movie. Still, this movie is quite fun, sort or original (if you decide to ignore the original sources of inspiration), and definitely worth watching. |
| User ReviewCindy FMovies about writing. Do these appeal to anybody besides writers? |
| User ReviewMichael PDecent flick. The acting was good and the script was very good. I liked the score as well. |
