The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Spoilers ahead. The ending of this fine film is a big problem. They pasted "true love (i.e. good sex) conquers all" on the end of a really, really well-done surreal exploration of employment in Amerika. I have to take points away for that horrible decision. I'm going to assume that some corporate nitwit pasted it one there. Too bad. This coulda' been a contender.But until that ending you have something good. It's not really a comedy and I don't blame anyone for being upset that this "funny" movie wasn't funny, but Hollywood is so brain-dead that if it isn't "drama" it's "comedy." So this is called a "comedy" but it's really an example of surrealism. The stuff in here reflects the real world in insane/stupid/hopeless Amerikan corporate-land where every good deed is punished and all power belongs to the group of seventeen.God I hate this reality. The film fishes around in it a little and you end up wishing that David Lynch (or somebody) would really rip a new one out of corporate rat-racing red-white-and-blue nasty old smelly McMansion SUV scummy middle hopeless class Amerikan Nightmare Land. Where Fred and Barney compete to see who wins the ultimate sneaking around behind management's back award for Snitch of the Year and Ultimate Ninja Brown Nose-san. Disgusting. If you do not understand what's wrong with this culture, and do not like or understand this movie, then you fit in well with unthinking, unliving, unknowing business as usual for dummies. Glad somebody is having a good time! Enjoy! A Jeffers day to you!I just wish they hadn't put that miserable ending on this great film. Really, really a bad thing to do. Double plus ungood.

First off: I don't live or work in the corporate world of the US and I feel really sorry for anyone who gave this movie a positive rate. I guess you must have felt the pain. Since this is seen as a good film, I was waiting and hoping until the very end for something to happen and the movie ended leaving me with a WTF on my mind. I normally don't write too much here. Considering the load of unwatchable movies being produced these days I would have an unpaid full-time job. "Visioneers" is extremely boring, and to some extend it is even aggravating that this movies received such a positive rating coming from people who are actually described as victims or let's say dehumanized employees. What is so funny when you see yourself as an American employee who does not have the guts to do anything about so called "Corporate America" because you may be afraid of loosing your job? You maneuvered yourself into that situation, because you let THEM do it. Never heard of work unions like in Europe? Where employees have rights? Really? Read international newspapers instead of watching movies like this! Educate yourself, you can learn actually a lot in 90 minutes instead of seeing yourself as a persiflage on your brand new plasma TV you bought on credit. Again, you may get a kick out of this movie if you work in the environment being described. You may think "Yeah, that's me" and the next day you'll go to work again, being the same gutless and characterless person you were before.

I'm not surprised not a lot of people liked this movie, most people can't get past low budget. I did find it humorous that you found the plot difficult to understand, it is pretty straight forward about depression from living the average no excitement life. Zach Galifianankis was fantastic in this film. It was not what I was expecting, but good none the less. I'm very happy that The Hangover was such a Success, because I could not get a hold of this film until that movie came out. The DVD cover even says "With Zach Galifianankis from the Hangover". No it is not exciting, nor a movie that sparks your interest. It is a movie you have to sit down and watch by yourself or a few friends. It would be very difficult to watch at a screening or theater. You have to give the movie it's respect and time to get it, and not a lot of people are willing to do that. I have not watched Brazil or read 1984, so I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt it is similar; but it's not like every movie released in theaters hasn't been done in one way shape or form. I appreciate the story this movie told, and I was very touched at the end. If you're not willing to spend 105 minutes with it, then you probably shouldn't bother, although the first half hour has it's funny moments that may be worth watching.

I have no idea what is going on in this movie. Totally weird and sometimes just creepy. I don't like any part in this movie. I kept thinking they would reveal what this "explosion" is, or somehow make an interesting plot, but it never came. I enjoy weird movies and this was not on my list of enjoyable movies. This movie lacked, well, almost everything.I'm happy I managed to sit through the entire thing and didn't shut it off. I feel I gave it a chance at least. I watched it once and never again!They must of really ran out of things to make movies about huh.
