Last night I saw Funny Ha Ha (wikipedia). It’s the second such Andrew Bujalski starring Bishop Allen band members that I’ve seen, after Mutual Appreciation. It got some decent reviews.

It’s the fairly subdued story of a group of friends in their post college years, trying to figure out what to do with their lives. The Bujalski films have a very conversational and lo-fi feel to them. They feel like real life being put on film, which can be really interesting or, to some people, a bit boring.

I liked the film. Overall it was fairly somber but with some witty and interesting turns. I’m sure others have noted that Funny Ha Ha isn’t really “funny ha ha.” I feel like I know a lot of the characters in some way—friends of mine, people I’ve met; I even see myself in some of the characters.
