cbe41919 This is no blockbuster and it would be easy to pass it off as an also ran but it deserves closer scrutiny because of the emotion passed across successfully by the team and the nostalgia we all feel at some time in our lives, what might have been if the cookie had crumbled another way. It's never pleasant dwelling on a young life wasted and that is dealt with superbly. I am driven to watching it periodically when I need to get my feet back on the ground. It's in my special collection. I am not a James Dean fan and I have never watched one of his movies. I am now ready to do so and find out why guy, who I thought was a wayward Biker is so revered.

centennialhouse1 A real feel-good film with substance, a bit of a mystery, lovable characters, great ending and lots of fun. Very clever. Playing in Chicago at The Three Penny on Lincoln at Fullerton til the end of the week -- be sure to sample Jim's great pizza while watching the film. See it!

Ken Clayman My wife and I saw the film at a movie class. It was a beautifully written, with loving characters and an ensemble cast. John Mahoney was superb in the lead role. It was a "throwback" movie in the sense there were no four-letter words, and there was no violence, and no explicit sex scenes (although the movie was intensely romantic). We found ourselves talking about the movie and its meaning in the days thereafter.In enjoyed the film so much that I undertook to contact the producer and director. With the producer's help, I actually held a screening of the film, with my friends as guests. I am not in the film business in any way, and had never even been to a screening myself. I have now seen the film three times, and find nuances in it on each occasion I was not aware of before.

MikalFG This film is a good character study with a clever ballet of different personalities clashing and intertwining in a very intriguing and somewhat amusing tale. The use of the location as a silent character in the film is a subtle undercurrent to the story. The visuals are excellent, beautiful and well captured on film. The use of color is seamlessly interwoven with the plot and mood of the film. The whole thing stays with you and grows on you. See it more than once.
