Inanimate Objects

About This Movie

Inanimate Objects is a quirky 2009 comedy that twists the everyday into the absurd. The premise follows a guy who finds himself perpetually at odds with inanimate objects—think a door that won’t budge at the worst possible moment or a chair that seems to pull away just as he’s about to sit. The tone is lighthearted, yet there’s an undercurrent of frustration that becomes almost palpable. Practical effects are used cleverly to create these humorous obstacles, and the pacing keeps things zipping along without dragging. Performances are solid, with a certain charm that makes you root for the protagonist despite his constant setbacks. It’s a fun exploration of how the mundane can sometimes feel like an adversary, and that’s what gives it a distinctive flavor.
