Nothing
Seriously... where did everything go?
What happens when two losers are given the power to make anything they hate disappear? Meet David (David Hewlet, Cube, Treed Murray) and Andrew (Andrew Miller, Circles, Boys and Girls), rommmates and friends united in their mutual frustration with the petty irritations of life. Nothing would make them happier than if the outside world of nasty neighbours, callous bosses, malicious landlords and successful ex-girlfriends would just go away. This is their tale when their wish comes true.

I can hardly even begin to explain what's wrong with this movie. But I'll try. Every performance, without exception, is awful. Stagy and inauthentic in the worst possible way. Despite the subject matter it remains fairly uninteresting visually. Yes, there's some glitzy crap thrown in there for no reason, but that's just glitzy crap thrown in there for no reason. Jokes are explained fairly often. "The ground feels like Tofu..." is the joke, "...which tastes like nothing" is explaining the joke. "Everyone's dead," [picks up phone], "it's dead" is the joke. "I told you everyone's dead" is explaining the joke. The dialogue isn't realistic, which is alright since the movie isn't trying to be realistic, but nor is it tight. It's wordy, and unfunny, and inorganic. The dialogue is bad, but the actors are so much worse. They do the script no favours with their awful line deliveries and boring performances. I mean, if the acting was going to be awful they might as well have gone big, or... I don't know... given us something to watch. They're so bad. One guy allegedly has agoraphobia or something resembling that. I mean, we're told that he doesn't go outside, but we have no way of knowing what's up with this dude since he literally curls up in the fetal position and and has the worst fake stutter ever when he goes outside. My complaint isn't that that's not realistic. It's not realistic, but that's not my specific complaint. My complaint is that I don't know what that is. I don't get it. Even if this kind of a hyper-real symbolic representation of agoraphobia (or something like that,) rather than the real thing, curling up in the fetal position is not a clever or interesting way of portraying that. Maybe if the actor was worth his weight in shit we he could just convey that he didn't like going outside. But he's not, so we get this silly shit that makes no sense.Nothing Doing - CaptainAverage
Directed by the guy who gave us the Cube Trilogy, Vincenzo Natali, Nothing is the strange and occasionally wonderful tale of two friends who can't win for losing and eventually hate their lives so much that they hate everything away and wind up in a vast, white expanse of... nothing.
David Hewlett [Dave] and Andrew Miller [Andrew] have to carry the entire movie after about the twenty-minute mark and they are mostly up to the challenge of making us believe in their absurd hijinx.Like Nothing I've Ever Seen Before - PopGun_Edwards
.....and nothing I ever want to see again. I tend to enjoy most Canadian films, finding them thoughtful and challenging. But the only challenge Nothing offered was to sit through the entire 90 minutes. Something like a cartoon come to life, Nothing lacks in performance and writing. While this may have made an interesting short-film, there was no reason for this story to continue for as long as it does.
