In the midst of the sprawling metropolis of L.A., "Design" offers an enviable cast, some of which are today the most popular TV stars: Connie Britton, Jonathan Silverman, Julie Bowen, Moon Bloodgood, Aaron Ashmore, and David Arquette.
The film opens on the Arquette stumble on an elementary school classroom a la "kindergarten COP", no group of children where babies come in question answer. His grace is too short sequence, the children of the Darndest Things (Yes, such as the Bill Cosby Show) follows. Let's face it: children using their expansive imaginations and limited real knowledge of human mechanics to comment on adult issues is always fun.
What follows is a series of talkie couples come together, to try and complain conception, stomping and/or lusting after their targets with a variety of success. What they seem to all have in common is a demand for - loved and to love - despite any muddling of different modes to bring love, must.
The occupation is a huge work with material forging powerful mixed order of merit. Out from the Pack partner Jason Mantzoukas Britton ("Friday night lights") and have their scene, Alan Tudyk ("Firefly," "Dollhouse") and Pamela Adlon ("Californication"), which obviously enjoy in their vignettes and their parts with a sense of reality, to drama and humor.
Despite always such a serious slate actors together, writer and Director Josh Stolberg's production is suffering from a serious case of indie-ITIS in the sound and is forced to a cheap title sequence and restore hyper-cheesy score. First and foremost, a TV writer, wrote Stolberg "Good luck Chuck," a film best known as one of the worst in existence (although the casting of Dane Cook and Jessica Alba no fault was his). He wrote also "Piranha 3D" and "Sorority Row", each knowingly part of genre painting that plays for a certain target group. With "Design," Stolberg, the mediocre shows his skills as a writer, but without an external view and edit of the film from the area to know, what to keep, or to kill, he directly.
