Every so often you come across a movie that no-one really saw or knows about, received little or no critical acclaim and it blows your socks off, its great to be surprised like that sometimes and this is one of those films for me.

I should start by saying writer/director Jeffrey Haley should give up the day job of camera tech and do the film creating gig for real.

Great script, great cast, fans of Winona Ryder's cleavage will have a field day here.

Seriously though, this is very offbeat with a taboo subject but there are a few laugh out loud scenes here, mostly thanks to ray romano. I've always like wes bentley as an actor, he's perfect for dark roles and I liked the idiosyncracies like for example not having a car in LA.

the only slight disappointment is the "hollywood" happy ending but the way it followed romano's dream to a tee was so well executed and OTT, it didn't detract from the movie for me.
