I was thinking about ordering Melvin Goes To Dinner, Bob Odenkirks directorial debut. Has anyone seen this movie and would you reccomend it?

I highly recommend Melvin Goes To Dinner, very funny and well executed. Aside from the great main cast there are also some great scenes with David Cross, Jack Black, Luara Kightlinger, Fred Armisen and Melora Walters (Melora is actually in several scenes).

THis movie was great. All the characters brought something to the table (literally).Great character study. I wasn't familar with Bob Odenkirk prior to watching this but now I must see Mr. Show.

Yes. Definetely pick up Mr. Show. You'll either love it or hate it. Most likely love it.

also I was suprised how really moving and dramatic the last 6 minutes or so were. well, maybe not moving, but something like that, I hate overusing the word poignant
