Confessions of a Slacker

Twenty-five, drunk, two-timed, worn out, and dumped, Jack is having a mid life crisis of sorts. Working at a gas station by day, and trying to be a writer by night, Jack has always, at best, had a tentative grip on sobriety. But when his writers block won't diminish, and his supposed soul-mate informs him she's leaving him for his best friend, Jack finds an all new way of hitting rock bottom. After some severe misadventures due to binge drinking, Jack is forced to face his demons and give himself a good hard look. But admitting you have a problem and doing something about it are two very different things.

Directed by Kieran Rayment, Confessions of a Slacker leans on a strong ensemble — Mikael Hickey, Theresa Joy — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2007.
