Project Herbert

About This Movie

Project Herbert is an interesting blend of comedy and situational awkwardness. It follows our protagonist, Herbert, as he gets thrust into a chaotic new life after his mother kicks him out. The premise of a middle-aged man living in his late father's clunker while searching for housing in a tough market is ripe for humor. The pacing has this lovely, offbeat rhythm to it, with each misstep pushing Herbert further into absurdity, especially when he mistakenly ends up in a student dorm. The atmosphere is quirky, filled with relatable moments that make you cringe and laugh at the same time. The performances, particularly from the lead, balance vulnerability with a dry wit that helps ground the film amid its eccentricities.
