Max ne prend pas une ride. Littéralement. Il glisse avec une égale nonchalance sur les vicissitudes de la vie, mariage, divorce, paternité, succès et banqueroutes. Sous l’œil perplexe de sa seconde femme Lyla et de son acolyte Sal, il trimballe à travers l’existence son éternelle jeunesse et une mystérieuse valise en plastique bleue. Une brise légère souffle sur la comédie indépendante américaine !

I have a very simple rule: if I see Jess Weixler is in a movie, I watch it. This is an indie comedy - which basically means it's a drama with jokes that don't land, but a few that do. The story is pretty basic, kind of weird, and oddly moving. We're following Max as a chapter of his life ends, and new pieces are told in five-year jumps. Max is the typical indie lead: aimless, unfiltered, unrestrained, sarcastic; look, the guy is a bit of a tool. I went from liking him, to disliking him, then returned to liking him. I couldn't maintain a lot of contempt for Max when he's mostly unaffected by his own failings, and surrounded by only imperfect people. By itself, this would just be a story about a guy stumbling through life, the wins, the losses, but a mystery that kept showing up was the suitcase from _Pulp Fiction_ (1994) - no, seriously - if you've ever wanted to know what was in it, well, turns out it's a light that makes Kate Lyn Sheil young again. For a movie that was a standard indie rollercoaster, I was pretty surprised by the depth to it, and how emotional it was. No joke, toward the end, I got a little choked up. Is the movie about not growing up? Is it about making the same mistakes as our parents? Is it about learning from mistakes? I'm not fully sure, but this was a fun watch. I highly recommend this to fans of indie comedies. Circling back to Jess Weixler: I first saw her in _Teeth_ (2007) back when it was released. She's nude in that, and she's nude in this. Just amazing.
