Description

He talks to you. He listens to you. He understands you. He's your Rent-A-Pal. In this thriller set in 1990, a lonely bachelor named David (Brian Landis Folkins) searches for an escape from the day-to-day drudgery of caring for his aging mother (Kathleen Brady). While seeking a partner through a video dating service, he discovers a strange VHS tape called Rent-A-Pal. Hosted by the charming and charismatic Andy (Wil Wheaton), the tape offers him much-needed company, compassion, and friendship. But Andy's friendship comes at a cost, and David desperately struggles to afford the price of admission. Bonus Content: The Making of Rent-A-PalHi, I'm Andy! FeaturetteMeet Your Matches!

  • A great film!
A lot of people probably haven’t seen this movie. I am glad I discovered it! A strange film, not so much scary, just kind of dark , yet somehow comforting lol. A well made movie that’s for sure.

  • Dark, sad, a little twisty, and definitely worth a watch!
You could enjoy this movie just for the trip down memory lane. VHS tapes, corded telephones, video dating services, roller rink dates, a cassette-playing boom box, and Wil's sweater vest - all so amazingly on point. Excellent acting by all characters - someone did a seriously great job casting for this movie. Each one was so utterly believable in their role. The movie elicits so many emotions but be warned, many of them are dark... hopelessness, sadness, loneliness, fear, disappointment, brief glimmers of hope quickly extinguished. Definitely not the best 1st date kind of movie but not one you'll want to miss either. ... show more

  • I really wanted to give it 4....
I think this is Wheaton's best work since Stand By Me... no joke, he did a fabulous job and I really wanted to give this movie a 4! But the story, while I think it had potential (basically the life of an incel and the mental health of a trapped man), the plot seem to drag on and just plod along. I had to break up watching this movie into chunks because it was boring in so many spots. Again, I really enjoyed the Wheaton character and his acting,he showed real talent bringing this character to 'life'. I thought he did a superb job. But overall I found the movie just above average due to the slow,plot. ... show more

  • I liked it, some may not
This was sort of a dark comedy / psychologically dark movie. It was low budget, but the acting is great as the main character decends deeper into madness. Plus, Will Wheaton plays a creepy character which works in this movie.

  • Psychological wtf did I just watch
This is one of the most delightfully uncomfortable movies I've ever watched. Sticks with you for days

  • Captures 1990 like no other
I got my first apartment in 1990. It was crappy. I ate Macaroni and Cheese. Cooked Banquet Fried Chicken in an old oven. Rented movies at the video store. Huge boxy television. Going on dates with nerdy but sweet women. This movie captures that era in such an accurate way it's worth seeing for that alone. Also a story I really enjoyed with some terrifying (and equally real) moments. ... show more

  • Boring & weird
One of the worst movies I have ever seen. I can’t believe I watched as long as I did. An hour of my life I will never get back .
