Jack is stuck in neutral. He lives with his mom in suburban New Jersey, works as a security guard, and can barely get out of bed in the morning. All that changes when he sees a cute girl on the bus - and then realizes seconds later that his gun is missing.
Too Much Sleep is a rediscovered indie gem of an indie comedy they don't make anymore, but more people should. Originally a minor hit at Sundance in 2001, it was lost in limbo when its distributor went bankrupt. It was acquired by Whole Grain Pictures and released on Blu-Ray and VOD. It's the kind of quirky indie movie that doesn't get enough attention now when movies, indie or otherwise, are caught up in needing to be packaged with stars and hyped as the Next Big Thing.
Jack goes from one place to another like Orpheus in the underworld, only it's New Jersey, sometimes with Uncle Dave, sometimes without, taking to people and listening to their stories, which seem ordinary but take on increasing layers of surrealism and quiet oddness. With Uncle Dave's guidance, Jack starts to get places, but is it really where he wants to end up? Too Much Sleep, Not Save the World Too Much Sleep is like a gentle, suburban version of Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets.
