A very good independent film, in fact better than a lot of big studio features. It rates somewhere between Brother's McMullen and Swingers in terms of independent film quality. The film is very well made with some very funny dialogue. The lead actors and many of the smaller parts are well acted.

A Love Story a guy can love
What a fine film we have here. The dialogue is funny and intelligent while the drama is captivating and moving. This love story begins as a buddy film between the lead and his co-star (who really steals the show). Even as it moves into the romance (I loved the leading lady) it never really becomes a "chick flick" - not that there's anything wrong with those. It is touching, humorous, dramatic and a bit magical. I saw it at the Muskegon Film Festival and it was the best film there. I don't recognize any of the players, but would love to see them again -- and Mr. Hood, please keep making films of this quality!

Worthless
I endured about half of it, but when the activity totally stopped in the middle I could not force myself to keep watching. This movie is a phony, and not in some funny way. Maybe the second half of this movie is great, justifying high average rating? I'm afraid I'll never know. I used to speak like figures in this movie when I was a teenager in the high school. But I grew up and stopped such pseudo-intelligent blabbering. If they are serious with this kind of speech then it is pathetic, if they wanted to be funny then they failed, it is not funny at all. I'm not saying people who enjoyed this movie are somehow simple, it may be the other way around, maybe I'm too handicapped to appreciate it.
