Roger Dodger (2002)
1-19-05
This talky indie pic exposes the harsher truths about the mating game, but it skews the view of men/women relations towards facile and transient encounters over real relationships. Roger is one hell of a silver tongued chameleon. He's charming and charmless, I guess. Young nephew Nick wants uncle to teach him how to seduce women so the two hit the clubs of New York. There's a bit of depth in the characters here and the writing is top-notch. A lot of the film was shot on hand held camera which lends a voyeuristic feel to an already small and intimate picture. I liked this movie enough to want to watch it again, and possibly get the DVD.

** / *** ( Very Good)
