It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This film tries to be funny following formula and using pretentious dialog. It is in search of a theme, which it never achieves.After a failed attempt at suicide, Dan (Tom Pelphrey) is placed in psychiatric care under Dr. Bernstein (Robert Vaughn). The movie takes on a theme of "It's a small world" when Daniel starts dating the doctors daughter (Melissa Archer), has a fling with a woman (Ewa Da Cruz) who turns out to be her friend, his parents (Wayne Knight) divorce attorney, and a lover of a man (James McCaffrey) in his support group.Christopher Lloyd plays a caricature role as a patient pretending to be a doctor. I couldn't help but not laugh and cringe at the bad writing.Parental Guide: F-bombs. Sexual situations/talk. brief male rear nudity (Tom Pelphrey) Cleavage, bra/panties.

Dreadful. Absolutely dreadful. The acting is stilted, the screenplay seems to have been put together randomly with no continuity, the directing done by someone who has no concept for how to string together a plot.The characters are undeveloped, their motivations are unclear and seem to change from scene to scene and their actions are either under- or over-stated. It almost seems as though there were originally two different story lines and something went wrong in the cutting-room; both films seem to have been mixed together resulting in a movie that you'd have to be as nuts as we're supposed to believe the lead character is supposed to be in order to make any sense of it.Excuse me for living? Perhaps, but this film shouldn't be excused for existing.

Excuse Me For Living is one of the best films I've seen this year alone, This film has a very awesome cast and crew and Ric Klass did an amazing job with this film. This film will make you laugh and smile. I know it made me smile and laugh a lot. Melissa Archer who played the lead actress in the film did an AMAZING Profound JOB as her character and the whole cast gave 110% I think. I would recommend everyone see this film and read the book, the book is great too. I haven't finished it yet but soon. I give this film a 10/10 Star rating. I love the Film, I love everyone that is in the cast and I'm a HUGE Melissa Archer fan!! I have come to know Ric Klass by helping promote the film via my fb fan page dedicated to Melissa Archer and everything.. It a great film. I will say I was shocked at one part of this film but I won't saw which because I don't want to give away any surprises.. Just go see it!!

EMFL is definitely a movie I would watch over and over and I did. It wasn't playing in a theater near me so I viewed it on demand, four times! I thought at first I wouldn't like this so much, that it would be your typical romcom but this one has fast become a favorite of mine. The movie was funny and at times insightful, with such a stellar cast and as far as it being a chick flick? I saw this with two of my guy friends and it's now a favorite of their's too,for reasons that become obvious when you see the film. The movie has the likes of Robert Vaughn and Chris Lloyd who were so good in their roles and don't talk about the newcomers Tom Pelphrey and Melissa Archer (beautiful girl), who I had seen on soaps before. They had no trouble heating up the screen and capturing your attention. They were AWESOME! I would certainly, with not even a second thought,watch another film that featured these two, together or separate.
