I love John Hawkes and admire this effort from Miranda July. |

There are an unusual amount of subplots to this movie-going experience. A couple of them inspire me, one bores me and there are two I find genuinely disturbing. I admire the film for making me work so |
This film is the directorial debut for performance artist Miranda July, Me, You and Everyone We Know won a Special Jury Prize at Sundance in 2005.
John Hawkes (Everwood's Sol Star) is a shoe salesman who recently broke up with his wife. As she pursues a new romance, he frequently finds himself taking care of his two sons. Suddenly, a cab driver/aspiring multimedia artist (July) unexpectedly decides that she is romantically interested in the suddenly single salesman. This odd turn of events leads our hero to periods of panic and indecision.
At the same time, his sons are playing with romantic interludes of their own. The seven-year-old is conducting a chat room flirtation with an adult woman on the Internet, while his 14-year-old brother is the source of sexual experimentation by two female classmates. A neighborhood girl, however, finds that a more subtle approach is called for. (Kim Hollis/BOP)
