“If youu0026#39;re expecting an A-List Hollywood movie, donu0026#39;t bother. If youu0026#39;re looking to watch a unique and quirky movie with humorously distorted characters- this is it! I was laughing the whole way through at the antics employed by the primary characters. Unfolds a bit more like an on-stage story rather than a screenplay. Some of us can appreciate that! ;)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMike Ou0026#39;Connell delivers the slightly abrasive character true to form and Michael Cerau0026#39;s character Mills is lovable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile itu0026#39;s intended as a comedy, the core issues the lead struggles with are real (albeit distorted) and engage the viewers empathy if not their sympathy!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs far as Indie films go, this is one of my new favorites!”
