I DO like to experience at least ONE pleasant character who makes SOME sort of sense. And, I DO like a film to bear some relationship to REALITY.
Someone please tell me: What is the Dwarf LIVING on? His 401k? And, the Young Guy working the coffee & sandwich truck sold maybe five coffees and two sandwiches during the entire movie! This was a real distraction.
The film location was great, and some of the cinematography was fantastic. The actors were good. It's a shame these talented people were stuck with such a sophmoric script. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Thank God for independent film. Laughing at the individuals who gave this flick one star(or less), these must be the sample people who rated Armageddon, Twister and Day after Tomorrow with five stars. If you're braindead you probably won't enjoy a film of this caliber. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

The character development of the 3 main characters was captivating. The storyline was absolutely refreshing because of uniqueness...very memorable. One of the few movies I will definitely watch again and again. Many of the scenes were "laugh out loud" while others were so compelling....Didn't want it to end.

Read More This movie may not be for everyone, but for those looking for a quirky, fun movie, this is a good choice. Interesting characters whose lives become intertwined in living. A nice change from the bubblegum flicks that are out to make a quick buck. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

It's a story about the diverse characters getting to know each other while becoming friends. The film is about ambiance and understanding the forces that drive the relations. Appropriately slow paced, nicely photographed. Enjoyable. See it with a friend and enjoy the discussion it evolves. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

I rented this movie because I saw Dinklage play a wedding planner brilliantly in "the Baxter" and he is equally great here playing a completely different role.
This movie explores train enthusiastics the way Ghost World explored record collectors. Who knew there were train chasers? Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
