 A Terrific Dark Comedy October 28, 2008

Matthew Broderick has the rare gift of comedy.
He has the innate timing that allows him to deliver a funny line in the most tense situation, and still get his laugh.
That's what he does regularly in FINDING AMANDA, a terrific dark comedy from writer-director Peter Tolan.
Broderick plays a once-successful television comedy writer on a downward spiral. He's a recovering alcoholic, addicted to gambling and he's about to be fired from the terrible sitcom he's writing.
In a desperate attempt to save his marriage (to Maura Tierney), he heads for Las Vegas, promising to bring home his runaway niece (Brittany Snow), who has become a hooker.
But, sending Broderick to Vegas is like putting a person with an eating disorder in a candy store. By film's end, we're not sure whether he or Snow needs saving the most.
Broderick and Tolan supply DVD audio commentary.

 What an ugly little movie! October 17, 2008

It appears that the only reason for this movie is to emphasize bad language, bad situations, and bad people. Everyone is a loser and very little changes throughout the movie, except for the obvious . . Matthew Boderick always seems to play the guy who gets redeemed. What an ugly little movie.
Must See! October 2, 2008

I was lucky enough to catch this new film of HDNET free before it was release in theaters and I must say it's an excellent film! Broderick gives a winning performance as a 40 something guy with his share of vices.....most of them he is trying to give up. Having a hard time kicking his gambling habit and keeping his wife from leaving him. Broderick sets out to find his niece who is a hooker in of all places.....Las Vegas! Funny and insightful this movie has some great laughs, but it's smart and thought provoking as well! It's the best film I've seen Matt in since Ferris Bueller's Day Off! This is a very good film with good performances all around.
