Overview

Josh has difficulty adapting to his new lifestyle, which manifests in his inability to complete his simple initial task: mailing seventeen important letters.

Kornbluth is funny, but not funny enough to carry his feature comedy.
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News
Fresh
A low-budget, mild-mannered comedy, often amusing and at times laugh-out-loud funny.
Louis B. Parks, Houston Chronicle
Rotten
Josh becomes increasingly distraught and depressed, but not nearly as much as the poor people watching the movie.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post

As 'Josh's' story wears on, so does one's patience.
