Peep World

 

Sometimes a small movie comes out with a cast full of actors that you think there is no way that this film is going to suck. With “Dexter’s” Michael C. Hall, Sarah Silverman, Rainn Wilson, the odd Ben Schwartz and pretty much all the rest of the call sheet – you would think this is bound to be a peculiar little film. But the scene-stealer here is never seen in a scene. Comedian Lewis Black narrates and sets the tone for the whole film. And though there is never a big bang that makes the comedy unmistakably memorable, it is darkly entertaining, seeping in and subtly staying with you. It’s not the sleeper hit it could’ve been, but it’s worth a peep.
