After Zia (Patrick Fugit) and his girlfriend Desiree (Leslie Bibb) break-up, he commits suicide only to find himself in a kind of purgatory for those who commit suicide. It's just like life, only crappier where you can't smile and there are no stars.
Zia desperately misses his love, Desiree and finds out that she also commited suicide, and with the help of his friend, Eugene (Shea Whigham), he sets out to find her.
Along the way they meet hitchhiker, Mikal (Shannyn Sossamon), who joins the group. Mikal believes that she got stuck there by accident and is looking for the people in charge so that she can go back to life.
This whole movie flows like you are sitting in purgatory. The colors are dull, the landscapes are dull, everything is slow and boring and falling apart. While I'm sure the effect was intentional, it does make it a boring viewing.
The premise of the movie is fresh and original (at least to my knowledge), though the whole romantic comedy aspect was pretty predictable. While the movie isn't quite ever funny, it is rather quirky.
Now, if the quirkiness could have only made up for the fact that this was a boring movie, I think they would have had something there.
