Roger Dodger
Roger Swanson has always believed that he's as sharp as a tack in manipulating women. Unfortunately, the real world has proved it's wrong when he is kicked by his girlfriend, also his boss, a few day ago. In order to regain his reputation, Roger takes his new arrival nephew out on the town in search of sex.

Scott's hilariously hateful hauteur is able to counteract some falsely fuzzy notes in the ending.

The dialogue addresses our expectations, gets us laughing and stops the movie from becoming too obvious a character study.

Roger Dodger is an impressive first-time effort by Dylan Kidd, the director and writer. But like the teen in the movie who is trying to lose his virginity, the film never quite scores.

Blatantly arrogant, unapologetically misogynistic, morally repugnant, and absolutely hypnotic. All these descriptions and more can be applied to the character of Roger Swanson (Campbell Scott)

The performances are absolutely superb, and that's where the film wants to live.

Kidd's story is a bitter pill to swallow - many will find the portrayal of Roger as some kind of hero bizarre.

We journey from appreciating Roger as the ideal over-drinks conversationalist to someone we would cross the street to avoid.

Some have condemned this film for 'filthy content.' That's like condemning a hospital for being a place of disease. Kidd deals with 'filth' the way a surgeon treats a tumor.

Even at its grimmest, the movie hums along, thanks to the edgy, hand-held, on-the-fly cinematography and the snappy performances.

Scott's low-key portrayal makes Roger interesting.

A fascinating, uneven first feature from the young writer-director Dylan Kidd.

Doesn't really add up to much.
