It's true that I haven't seen the movie... the basic model of the blog is that I go ahead and review films before actually seeing them. Although I'm surely often wrong, I do feel that I'm accurately representing the text of the trailer as I perceive it. If the movie itself turns out to be a lot different than my interpretation, then perhaps that trailer wasn't the best possible representation of that particular film. What do you think?

In the first 5 minutes it actually openly rips on Garden State which is really hilarious. And the title comes from some Emerson Essay called "Self Reliance". it's on the official website here : www.letthemchirpawhile.com the movie is building on stuff from woody allen and the classic italian filmmakers (fellini, de sica) but it's pretty original actually in a lot of ways. don't write it off based on the trailer. it's actually a fun film You’re all mixed up about this movie.
