“Trapped in an alternate world populated by suicide victims, a band of souls tries to find an escape route in Goran Dukic’s quirky fantasy. Although he took his own life, Zia (Patrick Fugit) isn’t ready for such a grim hereafter, particularly when he learns that his ex-girlfriend also killed herself. On a quest to find her, he befriends a jaded hitchhiker and a Russian rocker, and together, they set out in search of a more appealing afterlife.”

Sounds interesting doesn’t it? Let me save you the trouble of going through the emotions I did by sharing how I felt when it was over with.

• I’m barely scraping by in life while this film made a profit? NO FAIR! If I would have known that film making was THIS easy and required almost no talent, then I would have sought a career in that field.
• This reminds me of a bad dream that you can’t recall. You try to spew out the bits and pieces that you remember, but none of it makes any sort of sense and it’s not as interesting as it sounded in your head… hmmm that’s probably how Goran Dukic felt once he saw the final work.
• The writing was lazy as was the acting. The story line was hazy and I kept pinching myself hoping I’d wake up. Why didn’t I turn it off? I figured with all the buzz it had to get better. It didn’t.
