After watching Paul I thought I'd go back and have a look at where Greg Mottola started out.

This is a very enjoyable little 90's New York indie film. Watch the trailer for the synopsis, it's pretty straight forward. And look at that cast. Amazing.

A lot of the film takes place in the car and it feels very cramped in there, perhaps they couldn't afford rigs to shoot from the windows, perhaps it's a stylistic choice, but it does feel like you're squished in there with this family, shooting the shit and speculating on the marital affairs of others.

It's pretty funny and rather tangential. The characters are all well thought out and create a great dynamic between them. And the ending is a little bitter sweet, as these films usually are. Very different to the comedy and slightly more action oriented stuff he's transitioning into, but it's a great one to check out.
