lucky I taped it
10 June 2006
Hal Holbrook in a small role, Matthew Broderick in a small role, what a funny little gem. I saw it on IFC a few years ago, and loved it, so the next time it came on I made sure to tape it. Matt Mulhern gives a very strong, emotional performance as the main character, and I was so happy to see he made another movie, "Duane Hopwood" with David Schwimmer and Janeane Garafalo, that was unfortunately not near me in theaters, but which I just caught on DVD, and it too is so full of life and truth and honesty, that I had to go back and watch his first film again. I hope this talented filmmaker gets the chance to make more films that bring such authenticity and feeling to what is all to often over-hyped, sundance-i-fied, boring ass drivel. an indie by and for adults, not some film school hooligan with a 16 millimeter camera and a dream. strong acting, a beautiful score. bravo!
