7/10
excellent heartfelt film worth checking out
10 April 2002
It's very rare that I vote on the IMDB for a movie and it's even rarer that I write comments for one. I see as many movies as possible - this is quite a lot - and reviewing them all would be both pretentious and incredibly time consuming. Still, I am very critical of what I see, most of which I would summarize as being horrible. Once in a while though, I'll see a movie that compels me to sit down and share my views, and this film is definitely one of them.

I had the privilege of screening this film in a pre-release answer print state. Not all of the aspects were finalized. Nevertheless, this movie, which at the time I am writing this apparently doesn't have an official title, was heartfelt, engaging, well made, and most of all, very entertaining.

I highly recommend this movie to filmgoers who are tired of the typical Hollywood schlock we see again and again and again. I am surprised and dumbfounded that this picture was even produced because it is so original and thoughtful and like nothing I've seen before.

Is it the best film ever made? No. Did it make a profound difference in my life? No. But it did remind me why people make films; that some of us in Hollywood are, in fact, creative; and that once in a great while, filmmaking is art.
