Common Wealth - Rob
When Patti and I watched the trailer for this movie, neither one of us were too excited. In fact, she wanted to pass altogether, but I went back to the IMDB page for the film (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0255067/) to try to remember why I rented it in the first place. The ratings and user comments were all very favorable, so we decided to go for it.
"La Communidad" (Common Wealth) ended up being well worth the rental. It was a funny, suspenseful, well-acted film that kept our interest throughout. The story revolves around an unsuccessful real estate agent who takes up residence in an apartment she's trying to sell, and finds a huge sum of loot left by another apartment dweller who died recently. To say more would give away too much, but the rest of the tenants are a mix of wacky characters (including a Star Wars fanatic who spends 90% of the film in a Darth Vader costume), who all share a secret that leads up to the film's entertaining climax.
Note: the bizarre trailers on the DVD are worth the rental alone.
VERDICT
WHO FELL ASLEEP: neither one of us
WHO RECOMMENDS IT: both of us
BUY/RENT/SKIP: rent
