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!

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.

I just completed working on a project with Jimmy called Distortion, and he was the only actor that came to the set prepared. He didn't have a script in his hand, he didn't have to have the script supervisor feed him lines, and he actually helped the writer, director and lead actor of the film, with his dialogue. Then I went on this website and saw that he has costarred with academy award winning actors. He learned from the best, and that's why he's a consummate professional. I'm looking forward to watching this movie. I'm sure he did his homework. I've seen a couple other of his movies that he just acted in, like Seals and Delta Force, and he was very good. The scripts weren't all that fantastic but Fitzy was good. Good luck with your films Fitzy, it was a pleasure working with you.

For those of you who are fans of romance, this story will be every bit as predictable and even more enjoyable than those written in books. The story line is a bit contrived, but I couldn't help falling in love with the characters. Jodi Knotts is great as the yearning ex-girlfriend, now yearning wife, of Jim's character's best friend in the middle of a life that's missed the love of a lifetime. And Jim Fitzpatrick has NEVER looked better than while he is wondering and pondering reclaiming his highschool love that never faded from his memory. A definite chick flick! Great payoff at the end... Ladies, tell me how great Jimmy Fitzpatrick has aged... Dear Lord! ABC was crazy to let this one get away! Fitzpatrick's also quite a writer.
