I enjoyed this movie for it's individual performances, 2 January 2006
8/10
Author: cpmailings from United States

1. Christine Lahti is almost always worth seeing (you'll have to wait until about the middle of the movie...but it's worth the wait. In a "Mrs. Robinson"-type role, she is seductive yet wholesome, and she helps send the movie's hero, "Charlie," back out into his own life and seemingly-unattainable romance.

2. Josh Charles plays a wonderfully idealistic young man chasing the career of his dreams and the girl of his dreams, starting as a young boy.

3. Anne Hesche plays Charlie's love interest as a quirky but likable young woman aspiring to a career as a modern dancer.

4. John Goodman is great as the lifelong hero Charlie has chosen to emulate and, if possible, work with.
