1/5 closing escrow
  by movie watcher
This is a weird movie. I wouldn't have given it any stars, but that was not an option. It looks like someone used their home video camera to make the movie. Also, one of the characters places a dead cotton tail rabbit on the mail boxes, etc. of homes...pretty sick I think. Save your money and don't buy it.

5/5 Funny Movie!! Great Actors

This was a very well done independent film with a great cast of very talented actors. I enjoyed every minute of it!

3/5 Wonderful Movie but I missed the Christopher Guest Cast
  by stdakd12 (East Texas)
I thought the movie rated well; however, I was psyched out to see some of the Christopher Guest cast in this "mockumentary," but none of the Guest cast showed up, and I could see each one of them in the different roles. Imagine seeing Fred Willard as a Real Estate Agent with a chain saw...etc.

Anyway, kudos to the wonderful job the writers, producers, directors and actors did. Everyone did a supurb job, and I hope to see these producers do some more mockumentaries in the future. It seems as if they have their own cast, so I will be looking forward to seeing them in the future. You give Guest and cast a good run for the money. Thanks for the great entertainment on the fourth of July weekend.

1/5 Not worth the DVD it was pressed on.

After watching, the wife and I were embarrassed to admit we had wasted the time it took to watch as well as the rental fee. Amazon needs a zero star rating for this kind of worthless drivel. If you want something mind-numbing and crushingly boring get this, otherwise find any number of other activities to spend an hour and half of precious life on!

3/5 uneven but often funny faux-documentary
  by Roland E. Zwick (Valencia, Ca USA)
The All-American dream of home ownership comes in for some gentle ribbing in "Closing Escrow," a pseudo-documentary written and directed by Armen Kaprelian and Kent G. Llewellyn. The film follows three quirky couples and their equally zany realtors as they endure the trials and tribulations of buying and selling a home.

In all honesty, it takes awhile for "Closing Escrow" to work its way into the audience`s affections. The humor, in the early stages, comes across as overly broad and arch, and the movie feels too derivative of all those Christopher Guest films like "Waiting For Guffman," "Best in Show" and "A Mighty Wind" to be entirely original. Yet, long about the midway point of the story, the concept begins to pay off and the movie glides smoothly to its conclusion. Moreover, the actors elevate the humor with their marvelously deadpan performances and impeccable sense of timing.

"Closing Escrow" is no barnburner of a comedy, but it does succeed in providing us with a decent number of good-hearted and good-natured laughs by the time it's over - not too shabby an accomplishment for any comedy these days.
