Sam (Austin Peck), an aspiring screenwriter, has always relied on the constructive criticism and advice of his best friend David (Bryce Johnson, a successful magazine editor. But when David provides negative feedback for his latest work, both writers learn that sometimes the truth isn't always the best policy.
Shallow, insecure, and bro-y characters that are trying to come across as they discussing a screenplay, "The Blue Tooth Virgin." Poorly acted, where it seems more of a read-through or dress-rehersal than a continuous film. You don't believe that the characters are who they say they are. Austin Peck's character seems like an uneducated dip-shit that has just recently decided that "Man, I should write screenplays." Well both Peck's and Bryce Johnson's characters are more college frat-boys than established businessmen/writers who are in their thirties.
The film rips off Woody Allen with its 1940's piano music and artsy-fartsy quote breaks to introduce the next sequence in the story. I don't understand why the characters are interacting in certain locations.
