Schwatzman and his dog delight (by levifilm) |
Absolutely charming and hilarious. Jason Schwartzman is pitch perfect as Larry, a slacker who gets fired from his job in a restaurant at the beginning of the film, sipping through a straw from his Big Gulp. Schwartzman isn't the only tour de force in the film, his dog Arrow makes the perfect comedic counterpart, exasperated and non-plussed at many of Larry's diatribes and philosophies. Bob Byington deserves a lot of credit as well, his previous film Somebody Up There Likes Me is equally hilarious, but 7 Chinese Brothers is less surreal and more rooted in character and pathos. 7CB has <more> |
Biding his time (by cekadah) |
This is not a complex movie! It's a nice simple story of a basic slacker biding his time in anticipation of an inheritance. In the mean time we see and experience his daily life.Director/writer Bob Byington brings us a story of 'Larry' Jason Schwartzman who feels no need to do something with his life because he is the sole survivor in his grandmothers family. His grandmother Olympia Dukakis resides in an assisted living retirement center. Larry occasionally visits, mostly when he needs cash. He knows his grandmother is wealthy and he is confident he will inherit all because he <more> |
A nebbish is upstaged by his dog (by jakob13) |
Bob Byington has a following. No doubt about it. They flocked to the IFC in New York to see 'Seven Chinese Brothers'. And after the showing, to quiz Byington on his film. As everyone who has seen the film discovers that the narrative is thin gruel. Jason Bateman is plays the 'nebbish' Larry, who drinks his life away in small doses. A loner, he finds companionship with his dog Arrow. Talented that he is, he should never play against a dog nor a child. Olympia Dukakis does a cameo as his grandmother, who leaves him a spanking almost new Mercedes, but not her million dollars that <more> |
Another Jason Schwartzman Gem - Must See (by Melissa_Antoinette_Garza) |
I had heard about this movie a couple months ago and kept it on my radar ever since. 7 Chinese Brothers stars Jason Schwartzman, who I've always been a big fan of. He has an undeniable likability that he has carried with him ever since Rushmore 1998 and it never shines so brighter as it does in this film.The film opens with Larry Schwartzman getting fired for taking $5.00 of a $10.00 tip from his job as a bartender. He goes out the way anyone who has left a job under bad circumstances wants to go out. He loudly tells everyone he was fired and takes a bottle of tequila.He goes home to <more> |
Great film - don't get the title though (by mbtownplanning) |
Reading some reviews I half expected a slacker film as in something a bit like American Pie but with slackers . But this was good - I like films that are realistic like this one. That is the main thing I liked - not big high stakes drama or clichés or tilting towards a message.The character was not pointless - the character does grow.I didn't really understand the title though. I like REM I was really into them as a young adult - probably too much . But whilst the song might have an interpretation that makes sense in the context of the movie, it surely doesn't enough to name the <more> |
