"Clerks" meets "American Beauty." 
I've often said that American Beauty is the first foreign film to be made in the US, but now I digress...
Cashback is a pleasant little movie that starts sad and slow. It gets interesting when the main character takes a night shift job in a grocery store to cure his insomnia brought on by a break-up. It is in the store that we are served some random comedy, introspection and some interesting nudity.
Visually there's much to enjoy, and in spite of several directorial faux pas' it really does work.

Slow and Boring 
Tiny bits of humor, unbelievably boring. The star of the show rambles on and on. The funniest scene is in the first two minutes when his ex rips into him. There are a few bits of immature humor but it just dragged on. Did I say it dragged on and on?

A great avante-garde romantic comedy-fantasy 
Ok, I admit it ... just like many other people, it was the cover picture that caught my eye (as it was meant to). HOWEVER, it was the cogent and intelligent comments here (on Amazon) that succeeded in clueing me in to a sensitively written high-brow gem of a movie, which I promptly purchased, and just finished enjoying.
Yes, Ellis' movie has the obligatory dysfunctional 'characters', and sophomoric humor, required to keep what Shakespeare called his audience's "peanut gallery" contingent entertained... more info

Worth every penny 
Very good movie, very surreal. It is different kind of movie which is why I loved it. This is a movie you curl up with your partner and watch late at night, not a family movie.
