This is a hilarious look at late collegiate life with a fresh perspective on many issues. This very well made independent film balances the romance factor well to keep the story going, and manages to pull a tear or two before it's over. The characters are real and have good depth for a comedy. The audience may have a hard time with the father's accent, but the tone of the conversation will give you the idea of what's going on in the story. This will really appeal to an audience who has been in a large college, had controlling parents, or had musical aspirations. The friendships and problems in their lives are integral with solid telling of this story.
