Gre da Vid I like Naomi Watts and Matt Dillon somewhat, but, this film does not portray, in the least, their acting ability. Really didn't like it.

Aristides-2 SPOILERS: Unfairly perhaps, I would have much preferred Melissa, after the grievous abortion, to realize that every man in her life was a loser and to resolve to go it alone once her health was regained. I also would have rated 'Sunlight Jr.' another point but for a bad use by the screenwriters of poetic license: We know she's penniless but somehow manages to get an ultra-sound exam, see a pediatrician and to top it off, obtain an abortion. As you all too well know, medical technicians and particularly doctors aren't in it for humanitarian reasons.

dantonstl I didn't remember writing a review, so if i am replacing one, i will soon find out. This film killed some time for me...i watched this alongside Hello Herman in a matter of two weeks while vacationing at jacksonville Beach Florida recently. First of all, the resemblances as to where this film was shot actually looks a lot like Jacksonville Beach Fl.Onto the actual film though, Norman Reedus, who the heck is he? Is he Matts Brother? has he been in the same vicinity for so long that they just KNOW Each other? its obvious that he knows who Naomi Watts character is. There's this scene when he is LOCKED in the bathroom of the gas station that She works at..I totally didn't understand that, its in the first half of the film. This gives you a basic synapses of who these people are, the poverty that they are dealing with, the activities that happen to happen and even a glance at how a bar looks like with a few patrons in it. So, did i like this movie? i guess not. Does it seem a lot like reality? yes...yes it actually does.

Tony Heck "We got a plan and we're taking care of our business, but it's been stressful." Melissa (Watts) is a convenience store clerk who lives in a motel with her paraplegic boyfriend Richie (Dillon). She hates her job and Richie is struggling with his troubles trying to take care of her. When Melissa finds out she is pregnant what starts out as extreme happiness begins to change. The troubles at her job and the motel begin to wear on them. This is a perfect example of a movie that is just OK but when you add great actors to them it makes it much better then it could have been. This is just another "how much worse can things get" type movie but because of Watts and Dillon you truly care about the characters and root for them against all odds. You feel for the struggles they go through and as the movie goes on you feel as beaten down as they do. This is not a happy movie at all but it does feel very real and that is the sign of a good movie, it makes you feel things emotionally. Overall, a movie that is worth seeing but very depressing and you feel like you have been emotionally beaten at the end of it, much like you feel after watching Precious. I give this a B.
