A very good poignant film, 25 July 2002
10/10
Author: Buff2001 from Florida

I got this DVD only because of the two leads who are two of my favorites. I expected another crappy film like Ghost World which on my scale was a -5.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a really good effort and an enjoyable, meaningful movie. Kudos to the actors and especially Christine Lahti who showed that she is just as good behind the camera as in front of it.

She successfully created a cross-generational movie. See this whatever your age!
