This is a black comedy. That is, it tries to find humor in tragic and sad circumstances. These are messed up people, and they aren't funny, so I'm not sure what one is supposed to like about this unpleasant film.... Full review

You really can't say much about this movie except that it is all that it could be and it doesn't disappoint. Well you shouldn't have high expectations when you see it. On the other hand this movie is not outstanding either.... Full review

The story is so boring and flat you'll probably fall asleep by the middle. And the catch at the end was so dumb ! It was totally so pointless to watch. Unless you want a boring story line that tries to... Full review

This temptation proved to be luckier to Tolan then betting on the ponies as he skipped the trip to Vegas and instead put then pen to the paper, giving birth to Finding Amanda .
Alas, the best laid plans: While there wasn't a recording device for the interview, following's a synopsis of Tolan on Amanda : The inspiration behind the story: The inspiration for the movie came by the way of a request from a family friend to corral their wayward daughter home from Vegas.

Tolan, who is best known for the television series "Rescue Me," aims for an edgy blend of comedy and drama that's not always successful.
In this uneven but offbeat comedy from writer-director Peter Tolan, Broderick is Taylor, a failed sitcom writer and gambling addict.
