Fast Sofa (2001)

So much average

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

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

I kept waiting for a storyline, a plot, something other than a series of actions by a group of pretty pathetic characters. Jake Busey is fun to watch and did OK. I just wanted to slap Crispin Glover. The only way anybody could be so stupid and unaware of the real world is to live in his basement bedroom with no radio or television his entire life. And never go outside. And as an actor, wherever I see he's going to be in a movie, it always seems to be the same character. Not sure about his range as a performer. Jennifer Tilley's character was all over the place. I couldn't figure out where she as coming from. It just goes to show that even with a voice like hers, you can make it in movies. I should give all would-be actors hope. At least Busey's character knew what he wanted. Sex and beer and then sex and any other kind of liquor that was available. Seemed like someone knew that if you make a movie and throw in enough skin, boobs, drinking, drugs and weird sex there will be an audience. Unless you are pretty open minded, not recommended as a "date movie."

One problem is, you look at the cast and expect gold, I'm here to say DON'T. Enjoy it for what it is and you're going to have a good time.Fast Sofa is a strange watch. It's a movie that will leave some very cold towards it. A crazy cast delivers some very watchable moments and it's got very nuanced, strange performances from both Crispin Glover and an over the top Jake Busey. I recommend this on some conditions...The problem with this movie, it lacks direction. Even in a buddy road movie about two people with NO direction you need to have a somewhat coherent plot. This movie misses on that, no matter, it keeps you watching with cheap shock value, strange exchanges and funny moments. The film seems to be schitzo, but again that doesn't necessarily make it a bad film. The director could have reigned in the camera trickery as it plays out like a bad art student film at times but I found it tolerable. Interesting credits.While this film is hard to watch for some people as it tends to meander, Jake Busey and Crispin Glover make this is a must for fans of strange trashy late night films. I really at times wonder why Busey hasn't done more, he's got great timing and strange charisma. Ah well, put this one on your late night viewing list, keep your expectations low and enjoy. 7/10

But this has to be one of the worst examples of an indi-film I've ever had the dishonor to be a part of. The only people who had their s**t together were the crew departments, in fact everyone below the line knew what the hell they were doing, we just couldn't believe this piece of cr*p found the money to be made! Needless to say it was fun to make, but a real torture to watch. Just skip it---from the crew

I read some of the reviews on IMDB before taping this movie, and didn't expect to make it very far in (still needed to tape because of Natasha Lyonne) but ended up watching the whole thing and enjoying it. The first third is so sleazy and stupid it actually entertains. For the rest of the film, Crispin Glover is fascinating and funny as an naive intellectual who's seemingly left the house for the first time. Through a chance encounter, he hits the road with wildman Jake Busey (who is also excellent and likeable in this role).Jake Busey's character gets into a number of quandaries throughout the film as a result of his drunken or selfish behavior, and those serve as the mini plots in a film that has no larger one. But it was enough to keep me tuned in, along with the delicious film characterizations.
