SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

merklekranz The characters are likable, the photography is gorgeous, but the plot is a one dimensional attempt to sell a dating philosophy. Beyond the initial philosophy lesson, the film really has nowhere to go, and an over simplified script struggles to maintain any kind of momentum. We get it, "chase and women will run, run and women will chase". Unfortunately that's it, and as a short ""The Tao of Steve" might project much better than it does as a feature film. Donal Logue does what he can with such minimalist material, but it's not enough. This does not even qualify as a date movie, because women might tend to over analyze it. - MERK

bvwijck Great to see a movie with dialog of classy wit, appealing language and a set of actors who seem so real they could be real people. And they have this real life appeal that doesn't have you exclaim at every turn "oh, come on now...!" And the New Mexico scenery has you go "wow!" here and there without doing overdoing.As a matter of fact, this movie manages to avoid 'overdoing it' in almost every department where Hollywood typically overdoes it. There are no car chases. There are no extraordinary fights. There is no violence with all sorts of weaponry and there's no foul language whatsoever. I would rate the dialog/plot line as the most exceptional item, given the fact that it uses the concepts of philosophy (a notoriously difficult subject) with such skill that transitions it into a normalcy of dialog not expected from normal folks. Great movie!

Doug Galecawitz i could comment on the philosophical aspects of this movie, as i might like to, but the point would be mute. especially given the fact that numerous human beings vastly more intelligent then myself have already pondered it and come up inconclusive. suffice it to say that the doctrine that "we pursue that which retreats from us" may have a kibble of truth to it and may also be a pretty pessimistic interpretation of human behavior. as for the movie itself it was rank mediocrity with passable acting, low budget camera work, and somewhat decent writing. the movie would work better as a double feature with the movie dopamine. another problem i see is the seeming incongruity between the fact that the main character dex seemingly only works part time, yet manages to afford a wonderfully furnished home filled with a large library of philosophical books that no doubt cost a bunch, and can manage to afford pot and alcohol for the infinite amounts of leisure time he has. that and the fact that he manages to escape the film with only one weak punch to his head is a miracle. in all likelihood someone like this would end up a grease spot on the eleven o'clock news.rent it with dopamine 7 out 10 depending on my mood

apollo231 This was an okay movie, it was witty and it had some funny parts, but I didn't found it hilarious, just kind of appealing. One of the things that I like most about the film was the great scenery, the place that the movie took place had some amazing shots, and the director took great advantage of it. The characters were just acting the role of themselves which was great since you don't really need to much acting to play you, so in a away they seem real. Nevertheless, the character that I thought was really well played was Sid, I actually wanted to go out with her. Anyway, the movie seemed to go on and on about the whole religious idea of getting girls, which technically was the whole point of the movie, but sometimes it seemed that you were getting hit on the head with it. I have mix feelings about this film since I liked it but it won't be something that I want to see again. This is the type of films that you won't learn anything if you see it more than once, but everybody has a different taste. So if you find this movie on your local library, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, that's what I did. Oh yeah another thing, the film had great language, which some people might think that it's a great film just because of the dialogue. Never pay attention to this, since big words do not equal great movies.
