Variety says Spooner is ‘understated and hilarious’
Joe Leydon of Variety speaks on SPOONER. Some review highlights:
“Lindsay Stidham’s script percolates with straightfaced absurdities and amusing non sequiturs, occasionally recalling the trademark style of Hal Hartley.”
“A pleasant mix of meet-cute romance and off-the-wall quirkiness, “Spooner” is the latest in a sign-of-the-times subgenre, another contemporary comedy about an underemployed thirtysomething who needs to fall in love before he’s finally ready to move out of his parents’ home. With savvy marketing and appreciative reviews, this pic could profitably appeal to young auds — especially, though by no means exclusively, ticketbuyers and homevid viewers who’ll experience gentle shocks of recognition as this loosely plotted confection proceeds.”
