don't care about the bowling alley

Jeff (Jon Heder) works at an outdated bowling alley. The place needs an overhaul and there is no money for it. The owner is looking to sell it. It will probably be torn down. Jeff is desperate to save it. Meanwhile, his sister Lindy (Anna Konkle) and her friend Sam (Maya Erskine) show up in his place out of the blue.I need to be more invested in his quest which is nothing more than to satisfy his obsessive nature. The closing is never in doubt and is probably the best thing for him. There is no rooting interesting here. I do like these characters. I love Konkle and Erskine as comedy partners. They just need to make me care about the bowling alley.

Cinematography/Acting were good. Movie composition and story were boring and pointless

I really liked the overall feel of the cinematography,sets,acting,ambiance,music choices to name a few... BUT... That being said the rest of what makes a good to great movie literally the whole other half was horrendously excruciatingly slow and without substance. There was NO story. Its a week out of the life of a boring guy whos about to lose his job. Where you would expect a grand plan to form and be carried out either comically or seriously depending on the genre to save said boring guys job there is nothing of note. You expect something to happen to make worthwhile the couple hours youve devoted to watching this and it just never does. Boring guy boring job boring lay off and then it ends. I rarely review movies and i watch movies daily so when i come across something this bad that i deem so without merit that I feel bound to warn off others? It really really really has to have left me with the feeling of being robbed of time i could've better spent staring at a blank wall. Do yourself the favor take my advice don't watch this its bad

boring not funny no story

Wow, i kept waiting for some indy style humor or interesting story. The movie often shows signs that something exciting or fun will happen by showing some computerized effects, but movie leads to nowhere.
