The second film I have watched with Pilon and I am very impressed. Hartnett brings great energy as well and it nice to read about how long he was willing to commit to this project.
Finally, I don't know if Jim Gaffigan needs the money or just enjoys acting but I'll watch him anyday.
Great work all around. A fun Tuesday night watch.
