Chuck and Buck

NOVEMBER 17, 2002

A coming of age story about a 28 year-old man. I love it. The movie is a little off, but in the best way. Buck (the star) is developmentally challenged, but not in a debilitating way. It is in more of a annoying, depressing, and oddly endearing way. All he wants is to go back to the way things were when he was young, and still best friends with Chuck. Even though he has serious problems, you can't help but sympathize. Everyone longs for the time when things were simple. The difference is that Buck believes he can actually go back.

The more I think about it, the more I liked the film. An original story shot in a very honest way. Definitely better than Miguel Arteta's most recent film, The Good Girl. Recommended.
