Has anyone else seen (or even heard of) the indy film Closing Escrow? I was searching the movies on demand (we have Time Warner Cable) and came across this. It was kind of dark comedy about the profession of real estate agents and their relationships with buyers. I found it amusing, but you have to watch with an open mind.
It's probably hard to come by on dvd, but if you have TWCable, check movies on demand.

Looks low brow and trite.
So, I'll be making an effort to see it. ;)
Not playing anywhere around me. So I got to check out movies on demand, a rental store.

I just got this from Blockbuster and watched it the other day....it was pretty funny. I was sitting there and each time there was some kind of Fair housing violation, I would yell at the television "STEERING"..."OOOOH YOU'RE PUFFING!!!"
LMAO

I rented it about a month ago and watched it. It was pretty funny. I like the scene when they're at the mexican restaurant and the couple says that they're pregnant. Then the Realtor suggests abortion!!! lol.
:p

I watched it on Time Warner a couple of months ago. Some of it was just silly but some of it was great (like the agent's reaction when the clients told him they decided not to sell at the end)!

I rented it from NetFlix a while back. They are on my MySpace friends list. I thought it was pretty funny, but I also tend have a sarcastic sense of humor. I wouldn't buy it, but it's definitely worth a rental.

Yes! great movie. I particularly liked Alec Baldwin's character.
Also, there's an interesting chapter in the book "Freakonomics" about the effort realtors put into selling your house as compared with selling their house.
That was pretty good. I will probably have to pick that up when it is available so I can show all my clients...let them have a laugh as well

Haven't seen it, but it sounds intriguing! Guess I will add it to my must see list. On another note... anyone see "Are We Done Yet?" Kind of like the "Money Pit."

I never saw "Are We Done Yet" but "The Money Pit" is a classic. One of my favs. After many problems, and heating water on the stove to fill the tub to finally relax, and when they pour the last pot of water the tub fall through the floor and breaks into tiny pieces. Tom Hank's laugh there is great! I'm laughing just remembering it. I'm going to have to pick up "Closing Escrow" and check that out. Thanks for sharing.
