Floundering

Rating:
Summary: Good acting, but uneven story.
Review: While the film Floundering touched on many important and poignant issues by allowing us to observe the worst day in the life of John, a young unemployed idealist living in Venice Beach, California, its approach was uneven--clever and sarcastic at times, but sometimes heavy-handed and simplistic. However, overall the cast was talented and likable, the dialogue was witty, and the message was positive. Great cameos by Buscemi and Cusack help.
