A girl walks into a bar is being aired on hulu . It's being promoted as the first major motion picture filmed strictly for the internet (80 minutes). The story is a kind of surreal, stream of consciousness comedy that bounces around from one bar to another.

Since the majority of the film is close-ups of two or three people talking over drinks, it seems to fit the internet well. There are some major motion picture stars, but some appear for only a few minutes. Revenue is strictly from commercials.

I voted for "uneven" because there were parts that really sucked me in, some that seemed particularly original and funny, and parts where I wanted to fast forward.

gee, what are they counting on to generate interest?

not likely to see it

The movie takes place in 10 bars in Los Angeles. This one just happens to be a naked ping pong bar.

Probably not going to see it. There's too much other crap to waste 80 minutes on, that one will just have to wait in line.
