Begins with an outrageous concept and takes it to the -- pun definitely intended -- max.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jun 15, 2009

It'll be intriguing to see where Miranda goes from here.

A Scrappy Little Indie Odyssey

| May 5, 2009

The movie as a whole is better than it deserves to be.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 24, 2009

Director Miranda shows real skill here.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 17, 2009

It almost works, too, though ultimately this visually splendid but sluggish story of a twentysomething would-be writer and his impulsive, overnight career as a bank and convenience-store robber takes the money and runs nowhere.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 17, 2009

Overall, it's less clever than [director] Miranda seems to think.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 10, 2009

Energetic if incoherent.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 3, 2009

Miranda, a busy and successful director of commercials, shoots it all with slick economy and efficiency.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 2, 2009

The movie is so well made that it's hard not to like this often funny movie regardless whether one takes the story too seriously.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 1, 2009

A quirky little film that relies heavily on charm to make up for some rather glaring flaws in story, pacing and character. Fortunately, it has charm to spare.

| Apr 1, 2009

The casting is unique, the acting able, and the camera work expert.

| Mar 30, 2009

Berger appears to be a potential breakout talent, turning a character who could be endlessly irritating into an oddly charming, self-effacing rogue.

Full Review | Mar 30, 2009

It works here, however, thanks largely to the strength of Berger's performance and the way the movie's familiar "follow your heart" message is diluted by a goofy subplot involving David trying to help Tom find gainful employment.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 30, 2009

A slick and clean cut piece of slacker comedy with great production and a fun sound track but sadly lacking in edginess.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 29, 2009

As charming an offbeat romantic comedy as anybody could hope to make on a micro-budget.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 26, 2009

Despite stylish editing, lively performances and some effervescent dialogue, Skills Like This eventually becomes insipid, tedious, inane and a bit lackluster.

| Original Score: 4.5/10 | Mar 21, 2009

The writing is economically witty.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 20, 2009

This likable indie comedy fails to completely get off the ground.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 20, 2009

Berger and director Monty Miranda would have been better off concentrating on the Max-Lucy love affair and Max's nonviolent, petty crimes instead of throwing in Max's two best buddies and their efforts to reinvent themselves.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 20, 2009
