This is a very entertaining dark comedy with characters you want to follow, in particular the lead actor, DJ Perry, who plays a charming rogue with perhaps a few screws missing. The cast is strong throughout and the story keeps you guessing! I thoroughly enjoyed this film!
Plot summary
The CDI Tribe is at it again in the dramedy 'Best Years Gone' - Our story follows the post glory life for middle-aged, dreamer, slacker and former race car drive Gil Gilles. After several years of destructive behavior, Gil is devoid of any real friends or family save the equally destructive 'love of his life' Sylvia. This challenging relationship is further strained by Sylvia's twin daughters who have been victimized by a string of Sylvia's past boyfriends and want no part of Gil. True love, family, forgiveness, dreams and drama all play into this quirky tale directed by Shane Hagedorn from a script by DJ Perry.

Harold "Gil" Gillis lives and drinks in Michigan. Son of an abusive alcoholic, drinking is what Gil knows. He meets Sylvia (Erika Hoveland) a waitress. As a fellow drinker they discover each other. Sylvia has twin daughters about ready for college and are openly hostile to Gil staying in their home. Tensions escalate until someone turns up dead. Gil, as we know from the opening teaser, believes he might have done it and takes off for the UP.
I liked the characters and seeing Victoria Jackson again. The UP accents were a hoot reminding me of the "Fargo" flavor. The film had some moments. While overall there were no bad scenes, the film plot just didn't have a lot appeal to me.
Guide: No F-words, sex or nudity.

Delightful film
A charming film with great character! Gil did a wonderful job as a fumbling "stepfather" to those evil twins! Zoie and Tessa Dye were spectacular in their film debut, and played their roles to a T!
A heartwarming film with a great cast!
