Movie #203 "Chuck & Buck" is indeed an indie and falls under the realm of "Uncomfortable" kind of humor, but this one is a tad different. It's uncomfortable in so many ways, but also has a poignant ending. I'm a Mike White fan, so this was an easy pick for me -------- I thought it would be like the play "The Nerd" but it has a homosexual undertone to the whole film that added a whole new dimension to "awkward" ---- I don't want to give too much away, but I'll say this: it isn't for everyone, but some people might find a lot they do like about it. And did I say I found the last couple of minutes very rewarding? So I'm in between on this one. A 3.

Chuck & Buck
(2000) R
An offbeat film about 27-year-old Buck (Mike White) reuniting with boyhood friend Chuck (Chris Weitz), who decides -- evidence to the contrary -- that they're still best pals. This fascinating look at the weird chemistry of attachment and obsession gets darker as a rebuffed Chuck begins to stalk Buck, who'll need a huge No-Pest Strip to end the one-sided infatuation.
