Cubby

Directors Mark Blane and Ben Mankoff bring a kinky sweetness to this oddball dramedy, but audience's appetites for it will depend on their patience with its lead character.

Whatever charms the filmmakers envisioned are nowhere apparent in these 83 cringe-worthy minutes.

If you want to buck the trends and seek out a comedy that feels fresh and vibrant, look no further than this endearing first feature from star/screenwriter/co-director Mark Blane.

...this is not to say that Cubby is a bad film. It is quite a frothy mix of childish innocence and magical realism. It's just nothing of major consequence.
