WAY OT, but one of your own: Check out this movie

A reader of the Inside UCLA blog asked me to help share his new movie, which he produced, and was a hit at the Sundance Film Festival. The movie - title: Douchebag (and, yes, that's the real title, and yes, that's awesome) is playing at the Landmark Nuart on Santa Monica and Sawtelle on Friday and Saturday, with a special Q&A with cat and director after both shows.

Here are some reviews:

REVIEWS:

"As just about anyone in this engaging movie might say, it's awesome!"
Ella Taylor, NPR

"A bubblingly sharp, fresh, dark and winning comedy! A minimalist Sideways."
- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

"Surprisingly hilarious and cutting, this lo-fi comedy about two ill-matched brothers reconnecting while looking for one's old sweetheart is distinguished by sharp dialog and terrific lead performances by Dickler and Jones."
-New York Magazine

-"If you hate all those Apatowian bromances, you'll love this movie"
Newsweek

"Smart, surprising, and funny! Hollywood could learn a few lessons from this indie sleeper."
- Leonard Maltin, Maltin on Movies, ReelzChannel

"Dickler gives an inspired comic performance!"
Keith Uhlich, Time Out New York

"Surprisingly sophisticated! There's a bit of "Sideways" in this shaggy movie about self-realization. Director Drake Doremus and his talented cast have also fashioned a sort of younger sibling to "Greenberg." And it has a wry antihero in Dickler, who plays Sam as a contradiction-filled Don Juan hiding all of his insecurities behind a Walt Whitman beard."
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

"Refreshingly original! Tremendously effective."
-Metrosource
