Weekend Movie Forecast: The Informant! Vs. Jennifer's Body

Indie comedy Harmony and Me is about a 30-year-old lovelorn "dumpee" named Harmony moping about Austin, Texas moaning to his friends. It doesn't sound funny, but Vadim Rizov at the Village Voice insists it works: "Harmony should theoretically be a comedy of awkwardness—it's got ugly broken marriages, pedophile jokes, and a suicide attempt—but, with hilarious dialogue, it's poised at the exact sweet spot where awkward encounters don't make the audience themselves uncomfortable, just amused. Director Bob Byington understands comic editing, cutting scenes to their essence—rarely longer than a minute—and gets the most out of a sharp cast. His film is continually quotable, from Harmony's query to a friend driving his mom's cracked-windshield minivan—'Is that like an ongoing adrenal rush of low self-esteem?'—to a morning-after exchange with a deranged neighbor (She: 'You got some in my hair.' He: 'That wasn't unintentional')."
