POSITIVES…
What an odd premise for a movie, but it actually worked marvelously. It was hard not to be invested in seeing through the story, and with the characters.
Writer, Director, and Actor, Aaron Fisher, made this movie. Literally, and figuratively. His character of Ben Glass is easily the most engaging element of this film. His journey here takes you to random places you may not expect.
A comedic factor in this dramedy are the sometimes outrageous things Ben would just blurt out with no reservations and that’s quite entertaining.
The other comedic factor would be the almost sitcom level situations Ben would find himself in.
Another winning factor in this film are the scenes where Ben interacts with either the firecracker that is Rosie Perez, the always solid Paul Schulze, and the enigmatic Ellen Toland.
Humorous, charming, heartful, and even inspirational. Kudos to Aaron Fisher for making this movie.
NEGATIVES…
There are some obvious plot tropes that does in fact happen, and makes me wonder if the movie would have been better off without that.
I think there were at least two other better titles that could have been used for this movie, instead of “Inside The Rain,” although I get why that was used. Alternative obvious titles would either be “Recklessly Extravagant” or “Odysseus.”
P.S….
