    The acting and writing are so natural and realistic...and hilarious in parts. This is one of those "gems" that you accidentally run across and thoroughly enjoy. No explosions, no decapitations, no slow-motion flying kung fu. Just a good movie.

    This was good for an Indie, and Adam Scott was hilarious. He played the best older "p r i c k" brother since Chet in Weird Science.

    A very simple drama, great acting and it keeps you wanting to know what would be next, sexy and great end.
