Kopas's script never manages to set the dramatic wheels in motion. Instead, we get a Sundance-like, episodic quirk-a-thon.

Kopas makes the most of a limited budget while giving Prentice room to shine. But the deliberate oddball factor distracts from the job at hand.

Prentice makes the most of his close-up in An Insignificant Harvey, creating a believable outsider and giving him a soul.

It's a wobbly construction, swinging between credible character development and clumsy plotting, but the genuinely sweet chemistry between Prentice and Adams holds the whole thing together.

It turns out that most people are broken. Sometimes on the inside and sometimes on the outside. You should watch this gentle film.

Found it a bit boring and predictable, to be honest. Good effort on directing and acting although both a little rough around the edges. Story needed work.

Unique and brilliant screenwriting and acting. Did the critics go to the right screening room?

Never really hits its stride, and its footing feels like a drunken stumbling walk home, but as one critic said, "the genuinely sweet chemistry between Prentice and Adams holds the whole thing together."

The best thing about this movie is the dog, which is very cute. Slow, somewhat boring, with no real resolution.
