Nothing is a bizarre movie. Reveiwer J. C Clark hits the mark saying this movie was "Entertainingly Disappointing". Its such a fun idea, you expect it could do so well, but somehow it never manages just that. Now that I think of it, it could just be the nature of the movie. I think this movie never could be done right, unless possibly...there was some tweaking of the script. The acting is poor and I hate to say something like this about a person, but the actor in the movie, nebbishy Andrew Miller, with reddish curly hair was frightfully annoying.
On the flip side the visuals are the only thing worth mentioning. The sets are fantastic. The house, which looks more like half a house, looks great tucked underneath and between highway ramps. The sets within the house are also rich, covered wall to wall with junk only male roomies would and could put on their walls. There is also a terrific but sadly too short a scene of a futuristic-looking Toronto, designed in a manner reminiscent of a Michel Gondry creation.
For film junkies and collectors, this is a nice piece to add to your collection of DVDs as it is very postmodern.
