Sleepwalk With Me

A dork has relationship problems. Does that sound like an entertaining movie to you? If yes, then I guess you’ve found your film. Otherwise, you’ll probably find this flick dull, flat, and frequently off-putting, with only the occasional laugh breaking in on a disappointing and dreary narrative. And how is Mike Birbiglia playing a fictionalized version of himself supposed to work, when the story is so personal and peculiar that anyone who has any familiarity with the film's star couldn't possibly be expected to view him as playing anything other than his actual self? That odd choice probably doomed the thing right from the start.
