   I enjoyed Computer Chess enough to check out some of Andrew Bujalski's other directorial efforts. Results stars Cobie Smulders and Guy Pearce as personal trainers at odds with each other, so it's... a romantic comedy? Well, yes, but you're not always sure it is, though it eventually puts me in mind of Much Ado About Nothing (a good place to go, in my book). When you're dealing with highly formulaic genres, I always think it's a good idea to hand it over to an indie writer-director because it'll put a new, unformulaic spin on it. In this case, I think the results (ha) are generally charming. These are people who, for all that talk of fitness and working on oneself to self-actualize, really don't have their shit together except in the physical department, so the world isn't chosen at random. The catalyst for this relationship is a nouveau-millionaire played by Kevin Corrigan, who is divorced, depressed and - what starts with D and means pathetic? - and he's an interesting character in his own right (if not more so). Same lessons there, but from an untrained perspective. So our two leads really have no excuse for their fear. 7 months ago

   I'll see anything with Guy Pearce in it, but this just meanders endlessly on in a tired story of will-they-won't-they, as characters you don't really care about are put in situations that aren't particularly interesting. At the very least it definitely needed a harsher editor, because even individual scenes drag on for way, way too long, although both Pearce and Smulders do their best with what they're given. 8 years 10 months ago
