Full Plot Details

A decade and a half after their seminal indie film launched meteoric filmmaking careers, Splick and Jason find themselves staring at their own individual, pre-midlife crises. Having not spoken to one another since a late-nineties falling out, they're each grappling with the challenges of stalled careers and relationships, as the hands of time creep ominously past forty-o'clock. Splick's most recent TV show, centered around his character's perverse relationship with dessert foods, is unceremoniously cancelled by the network, forcing a return to his childhood bedroom at his mother's apartment in New York. Frustrated by a barrage of comments about the "good," "funny," movies he used to make with his old partner, Jason, Splick determines to seek him out and attempt a reunion.

Movie Reviews

Variety - 5/10 by Ronnie ScheibThe two still rely on their run-on, Woody Allen-ish interlocking rhythms to smartly propel the desultory plot forward, but after countless mumblecore and slacker indies, the sense of newness is gone.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Nick SchagerThe film's recognition of its (and its makers') own failings doesn't stop them from being unbearably accurate.
Slant Magazine - 3/10 by Diego SemereneThis is the kind of film whose impeccably steady shots and perfectly ordinary televisual aesthetic feel at odds with its subject matter.
The New York Times - 3/10 by Mike HaleWhat was sometimes charming and funny in "Turnaround" is almost uniformly dreary in "Business," a result of tired humor, a monotonous pace and Mr. Schaeffer's inexpressiveness as an actor.
User Review - 10/10 by Anya SThe story had a lot of heart and truth to it. It has been a long time since I have seen a movie that is a drama surrounding two males that are not in a homosexual relationship. This I would recommend to someone that takes movie watching seriously, someone that is interested in something different.
