Funny Ha Ha (89 mins, 15)
Directed by Andrew Bujalski; starring Kate Dollenmayer, Christian Rudder, Jennifer L Schaper

Made five years ago and presumably being released here because his second film, Mutual Appreciation, is to open shortly, Andrew Bujalski's Funny Ha Ha is an extremely low-budget movie. It deals with middle-class people in their twenties making their tentative way in the world. But it's less structured han Sleeping Dogs and appears largely improvised.

The protagonist is a recent graduate, Marnie, who drifts from job to job, misreading relationships and drawing up lists of 'Things To Do' that will improve her life ('go to museums', 'become a better cook', 'go without drink for a month'). She's like Bridget Jones directed by John Cassavetes. A promising debut.
