Rating : - low end , low budget and poor direction
in this genre you are typically looking for "Juno" and "Little Miss Sunshine" - I watched these movies and laughed and cried - so I rented "checking out" - it was a complete dissapointment - low budget movies typically depend on very igh quality acting and good use of the camera and none is present here. May be the adaptation from the stage version has been very poor - it seems they are still on the stage and not really doing a movie.I will not recommend it
