averagejoemoviecritic I have never seen a movie that was so hilariously specific to exacting a suicide attempt, as a way of saying what needed to be said to prevent it.It appears that thousands of people that eventually do commit suicide, didn't have such a strong clique of good friends to compel the depressed person to consider the upside of a tough life. Most people have been sheltered and babied so much, that they become such big babies when it comes to their personal needs and unrequited desires, that it's important to spell-out the good times and memories that placed them in such a negative situation. Psychology is stranger and deeper than most people could ever imagine, unless you've known that person for years and years. It's a great thing to show the importance of friendship and support, through-out our lives. This pseudo true story is money when it describes relationships past and future with this prose. ex: The character Jamie is asked, "Do you ever finds it's harder to give someone new everything you have, when you've already given someone else, everything you had?" DEEP...and true. I found this project to be beautifully shot and on the money with the acting and directing. What a subtle gem!
Theresa Hair Without sounding holier than thou, I hope that my comments are not taken out of context.A couple decades ago I was cheering with a Professional football team and several of my peers and I were at a charity event, where I met Jim Fitzpatrick. At the time Jimmy was playing for another professional football team in the same town called the Tampa Bay Bandits.After the event about a dozen of us went to Bennegens for a bite to eat. Needless to say, libation followed. Only then did we begin talking about our personal lives, when I opened up to our group about one of my relatives committing suicide.Jim was immediately focused and supportive simultaneously like I've never seen anyone become involved before when I talked about my cousin.Jim had known somebody that had taken their life that he knew in high school and now I come to find out a girl he dated in high school also did the same. Jim's a very emotional guy that always cared enough to listen to other peoples problems to the point that he became somewhat like psychiatrist. Thanks for making this movie Jimmy.It helps everybody to know they're not alone with this situation.
CarrieHarris I was under the assumption that Yanks had cornered the market on celluloid fluff. Have I ever so rarely caught a flick that expressed any type of reality beyond it's typical title. Unfortunately for those of us whose curiosities are captured by that all inclusive punchline, I leased this DVD. The writer slams you in face with his pensive ideals, just as he invokes his bosom buddies to accept the pain he can't climb over. Quite a task for a two hour flick. I was amused by the trysts, clever, however, the Director slash writer clogged the palate with personal ops. Overall, the show was straight and narrow yet searching for a more threatening ending. Not that suicide isn't dangerous, I truly felt, that a gun...or a speeding car at a cliff might of been more intense. The lead actors were true, as were the lead actresses. All in all, the flick was pseudo good.
naznico This cast of actors has got to be one a the sharpest lookers I've ever seen in a film. The shirley that plays the vampires has definitely got it going-on. The acting was very impressive, even though most the blokes are all probably ex-models. Certainly, the guy that played Robin Hood on the TV Series was a model. I thought the backdrop of the reunion was clever. The directing was ever so spot on. It appeared seamless, and all the subplots all melded fairly well. The ingredient I was more impressed with than all the others compared, was the writing. The script was SPOT-ON. One appreciates philosophy subtly integrated into film, without bashing your head in. It was obvious these actors knew each other before this film started shooting, like the article I read about it, that lead me to rent it. They worked well together. Impressive.
