Rob Perez, the writer of 40 Days and 40 Nights,  makes his directorial debut in this creative, well-made character film about art school grad students.  Josh Harnett, the star of 40 Days and 40 Nights, was also a producer on this film.  “Nobody” is a clever piece that tells the story of these grad students and their dealings with quarter life crises. When you are at the end of your life in school, you always ask yourself the question, what is next? Do you know? I bet you don’t, especially if you want to be a starving artist.

Lindeman, the main character of the film, played by Sam Rosen, is completely freaked out about the next chapter in his life. He has no direction and seeks advice from anyone who will give it. His close friends in the movie make for a very dynamic group of people, which makes for some extremely funny scenes. This is Rosen’s first major starring role and he delivers a good performance. He kind of reminds me of like a cooler Zach Braff – confident about his insecurities but not as awkward as Braff’s JD in Scrubs.  Mark Margolis, from Ace Ventura – the crazy landlord, plays Lindeman’s adviser, and is a PG-13 verison of Donald Sutherland from Animal House. The relationship between Margolis and Rosen is incredibly funny with some scenes that are completely laugh at loud hilarious.

Perez does quite a good  job at telling the stories of many personalities in this film. The driver of the film is that everyone is so different yet need one another for support. Thus, it was extremely important to develop each character’s role in the movie. We have the happy couple, the lost intellect, the goth, the beauty, the old washed up professor who lusts for students, the young up-and-comer, and of course Lindeman, who is more freaked out then any member of the group.

The music in Nobody adds to the ambiance of the film as well. Nobody is really a comedy about serious issues. From the moment the film starts the music kind of sucks you right in, delightfully changing to the mood of the story.  We see the music following the path of our characters.  Overall, Nobody leaves you smiling and feeling content with yourself. Sometimes you just don’t have the answers, and you know what, that’s ok.

On a side note, we will hopefully be doing an interview with Rob Perez within the next week. We might be able to swing some DVD’s as well and will be holding a give away.  We will keep you all posted
