1. Chuck & Buck | Rotten Tomatoes
Chuck & Buck is a dark misfit of a movie that's sweet, scary, thought-provoking and off-putting all in one package. It's a bold, original achievement.
"Chuck & Buck" is the story of a childlike young man who becomes fixated on his onetime best friend, now a cool, polished young record executive. Charting the collision of two individuals, once inseparable, who have responded in opposite ways to the onset of adulthood, the film takes a clear-eyed, sensitive look at childhood and the consequences of hanging onto it too tightly or renouncing it too thoroughly.

From Mike White, the writer of Dead Man On Campus and producer of TV's "Freaks and Geeks," comes a tale of comically twisted obsession.
