The bad news is that time flies. The good news... is that you're the pilot.

How many can stare at some spilled peas on the floor and find beauty. With this film, you may never look at still life the same again.

How do you fill the time that is flying by. We may not have the ability to freeze it and just enjoy the beauty of nature, but maybe we can spend some more of it appreciating life's beauty.

The cinematography and music really captivated me and set the mood long before the ingenious freezing sequence. It made the nudity something to be appreciated and enjoyed, not some cheesy titillation.

Ben (Sean Biggerstaff) is creating this world after breaking up with his girl (Michelle Ryan). There are a lot of laughs in the film with other supermarket employees, who are really interesting characters. There are flashbacks to Ben's childhood that provide other very interesting moments. Hayley-Marie Coppin, for one. But, it is not until Ben and Sharon (Emilia Fox) start seeing each other that his life starts to get back to normal.

Everything is not all smooth from then on out, and we get to see the same scene with Sharon that we saw with Suzy in the beginning. It was very original. It is what happens in life when we see one second of a two-second story.

But, the moment when Sharon walks into the Proud Gallery was just precious, and you knew things would work out.

A magical ending to a great film by Sean Ellis leaves us wanting MORE!

Surprised!

I'm usually not a big fan of romantic films but since this flick was highly recommended I decided to take a chance.And boy was I surprised! Cashback focuses on art student Ben Willis who had just had a stormy break-up with his girlfriend.Unable to get over it,he develops insomnia.To kill time,he starts to work at the local supermarket.There,his artistic side and his fascination of the female body starts to work overtime.There are also quirky characters such as Ben's two co-workers,an eccentric boss and a female colleague which he eventually falls for.Also not mentioning his promiscuous best friend.

Cashback has both elements of drama and comedy.The intensity of the film goes high but the comedy also reminds you to have a good time.The experiences faced by Ben are realistic and that's what makes this movie good.His ability to freeze time and undressing women in the supermarket adds something unique(wish i had that ability too)to this indie gem.Ben's colleagues at the supermarket are hilarious with their zany pranks..The love story between Ben and Sharon (his female colleague) unravels in the second half quite nicely at that.

There are some clichés however,only towards the ending but who cares?..Cashback was definitely a surprise, a unique perspective of life,love and everything between for Ben Willis.Worth-watching.

I grooved to it

Our hero is a dorky art student, newly and painfully broken up with his girlfriend, attempting to find something to fill his sleepless nights. He goes to work at a grocery store, where his imagination and eccentric coworkers help him through the breakup and put a little romance back into his life.

There is some artistic nudity, where our protagonist sketches various men and women in the buff; none of it seems gratuitous, it's just one more part of the film. I'm a big fan of artistic nudity, although I have to admit I've never been able to get chicks to strip down in the supermarket as they do in this film. It's a talent, certainly, that every man could use.

Overall, it's a slightly offbeat romantic comedy of the sort we could use more of. Not formulaic, not predictable, but enjoyable and entertaining. I watched it with my girlfriend, who refused to pose artistically afterwards, but you can't have everything. I've noticed that romantic movies don't necessarily translate into romantic activities for the people watching them; there should be a category of movies that does so, although I don't know what it would be.

All in all, it's a good date movie, good couch movie, just a good movie to watch when you're in the mood for something lighthearted and quirky.
