Go See Funny Ha Ha!

JP resident Andrew Bujalski made a film, Funny Ha Ha, on a shoestring budget in 2002. Now, in 2005, after doing the festival rounds, it's getting released in Boston and New York and some more theaters.
Funny Ha Ha follows Marnie (Kate Dollenmayer), a young post-collegiate whose days are filled with the shock and malaise of the "real world": flaky boys (played by some members of indie-pop group Bishop Allen), temp jobs, and attempting to realize something of permanence and happiness.
It may sound a bit like uber-indie Reality Bites, but Bujalski is a telented writer and the fly-on-the-wall, Cassavetes-like feel of this film gives it a pleasing verisimillitude. There's a real strong possibility that you'll see a bit of yourself in Marnie and her fumblings. Or, alternately, the film could annoy the heck out of you. (Sign of a true artist!) Bostonist saw Funny Ha Ha awhile ago, but it stuck around in Bostonist's head, unlike 99% of other films, which is a real compliment. And The New York Times gave this film a rave review, so trust Bostonist's boy Tony Scott and check Funny Ha Ha out!
