This low-budget film about the attempts of two recent college grads to find happiness is full of painful silences, awkward dialog and trite improvisations as it attempts to be voyeuristic. Somehow Karen and Paul, the two friends, have gotten all the way through college having developed no more interpersonal skills than two nervous 13-year-olds. They have little to say to one another -- leaving the camera with little to do than dwell on the appealing, if alienated female lead character. The hand-held cameras and long, wordless closeups of alternately bored and hopeful Karen give the film a feeling of aimlessness combined with pretension. The film is ultimately unwatchable -- I failed to get through it, although I was tempted to send a letter of sympathy to the mothers of the two emotionally stunted leads.
