I saw this film over a year ago and loved it and wanted to show my support. I find it interesting that another reviewer(did you actually see the movie) took the time to research every reviewer for this movie in particular. You have something against the filmmaker or have nothing better to do with your time than bash and criticize.I happen to be a HUGE Ronnie Marmo fan, saw the play, and loved the movie. I hope that meets with the approval of this reviewer. I don't know what else to say except I adored the film and the actors. God forbid someone actually like Ronnie and the rest of the cast. The horror of it. Perhaps the reviewer should spend their time reviewing films they really watch versus spending time criticizing what they know nothing about.

I loved this movie just loved it. The cast is top notch. The love scene is very hot with both Ronnie Marmo and Natalia Livingston, my favorite actress, was superb. But no one can surpass Ronnie Marmo, who's movie, story, and narration throughout was extra ordinary. I saw this back in Feb and I still can't believe it's not released yet. It's funny, sad, and heartwarming. Ronnie and Natalia great job to you both and the rest of the cast was terrific also. Joe Mantegna was in this too with another fine performance. I laughed and cried through the entire movie. This film and the entire cast deserves the best and the movie should goto a film festival.

Saw this flick in Feb at it's premiere in LA and I have to say it was unbelievably funny, sad, and just an overall kick*ss flick. I loved Ronnie. He was funny and sweet as Sebi. Natalia was also terrific and sweet as Matty. This chick has great screen presence. And Joe well what can anyone say about him. He is fabulous all the time. I am shocked that this movie has not been released yet. It has all the ingredients to be successful.One last thing, the love scene with Ronnie and Natalia was hot. And lots of other interesting and funny characters that made this flick so entertaining. Great job to the entire cast and crew on this movie. It's a winner guys!

I am not sure I can add anymore than any of the other posters here have said other than to say this is a terrific and lovely film with a wonderful cast including Joe Mantegna(Joan of Arcadia, House of Games), Ronnie Marmo(Lenny Bruce, a One Man Show), and Natalia Livingston (General Hospital). The entire ensemble was terrific and I recognized a few other actors I recall(Liz Torres, John Jackson) who were great.I saw this movie at a premiere back in Februrary and really am not sure why it has not been distributed. No it's not an action film, but a movie with a wonderful story, great characters, and some wonderful acting. I guess today indie films are the only way to really see character based storytelling like this.The filmmaker, Ronnie Marmo(he wrote this) did a great job. I really hope this film makes it out there in some capacity. Real movie lovers I know will adore this film.
