Sure it had problems here and there but at the end of the day I really enjoyed myself. It's a charming film, not too impactive but charming nonetheless. Douglas Smith does a pretty great job as the film's lead character Duane and he is surrounded by a team of excellent supporting actors. Could this movie have been better? Of course. But then again, so could everything.

At times Michael Mabbot (the film's director) captures some really original moments. While at other times he seems to miss the mark completely. The script does a good job of introducing it's character but it seems to have a harder time keeping them around. For example: Molly (duane's girlfriend) has a string of interesting scenes towards the beginning of the film then mysteriously vanished for a about 45 minutes.

The more I think about it the more things I find wrong with Citizen Duane but then I remember a joke, or a scene or just a moment between Duane and his little brother Maurie and I start to chuckle. I guess I shouldn't think about it too much.

Bottom line: It is an unexpectedly sincere film.

This film was fantastic. Very funny and also very much to the style of what life is like these days. I seen this movie at a film festival with a friend and we loved it instantly. The further I got into the movie the more Duane Belfour (The main character) became my hero. The style of the movie is very humorous and at the same time deals with real-life situations. I think that it balances out the comedy and the seriousness quite well. This movie is surprisingly rather original considering the familiar subject matter. This is truly a great movie and I'm disappointed that it has received such a low rating and that it is not very well known. Do not let this "diamond in the rough" go unwatched as it is truly a must see.
