This film, concerned with the strange and unusual characters a young woman named Hugo (Alyssa Milano) meets due to her pool cleaning service actually has its moments. Malcolm McDowell, as her drug-addict recovering father and Sean Penn, as a wandering hitch-hiker he befriends frequently steal the movie with their conversations and basic musings on the real human condition. That this film actually has characters stopping,taking the time to experience the realities of life on occasion, to smell the roses so to speak, gives this an undeniably unique quality. Still many may be turned off by the artiness presented here..fans of Alyssa Milano should check this out and this is certainly above-average work from her.
