Hot noodles and booze on the beach

Naj sul (Daytime drinking)

Crit

It's mumblekorea! Well, that may be a stretch--this film does have a bit of a plot and some action of sorts, but it's still about self-absorbed twenty-somethings who talk a lot and have romantic misadventures.

And it's funny and appealing, like the best mumblecores. However, it violates one key rule of the genre: it's nearly a half-hour past the recommended maximum 90 minutes, and as a result, we are more than ready to be finished with these people by the time the end credits finally roll.

But hey, get this: the film seems to have come to New Haven before opening in New York! I find no evidence of anyone at the Times having seen it! Ha-ha!
