A nice little movie

It doesn't happen very often but I actually saw this movie just because I loved the poster. I know, it might sound weird but I thought this poster looked so intriguing, I just had to see the damned thing. Eventually, I thought that it was actually not bad at all and I especially loved the poetic bits. Eventually, they tried to mix those poetic bits with some standard ‘I-work-at-the-supermaket-and-I-have-so-much-fun-with-my-colleagues’ comedic parts and those funny scenes were not bad but nothing more (I'm a big fan of ‘Clerks’ and it is the masterpiece in this genre). In my opinion, it is as if the makers were afraid to go all the way in the symbolism and poetic stuff and so they had to add some supposedly ‘funny’ stuff at some point. By way, during the whole thing, I was wondering where I saw before Sean Biggerstaff, the actor playing the lead, and many years later I discovered that the guy was one of those many kids who played a small part in the Harry Potter franchise. Anyway, to conclude, even though it was probably not a masterpiece, there was still something quite mesmerizing about the damned thing and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you want to see something original.
