John H.

This movie is a gem of an independent movie for those who enjoy the blues. It doesn't try to be more than it is and although it has some flaws it was a thoroughly enjoyable 95 minutes.

Nancy S.

This movie is well done and Lucas Black did an excellent job playing an Autistic individual as good as Dustin Hoffman's Rainman portrayal.

Totally enjoyable, unique film, especially for lovers of the blues. Fans of Lucas Black will roar with laughter and applaud his performance! Very original screen play. A movie that will make you believe that dreams can come true!
