An offbeat film about 27-year-old Buck (Mike White) reuniting with boyhood friend Chuck (Chris Weitz), who decides -- evidence to the contrary -- that they're still best pals. This fascinating look at the weird chemistry of attachment and obsession gets darker as a rebuffed Chuck begins to stalk Buck, who'll need a huge No-Pest Strip to end the one-sided infatuation.

Manages to be not only consistently droll but cumulatively poignant and even scary. -- J. Hoberman, THE VILLAGE VOICE
