Sweet Little Chicago Film

I just saw this and have to say that it was great! I wasn't sure what to expect after the first 15 minutes, but it takes you on a neat little ride that is very timely. The movie is about homeless people. A lot of imagination went into this little film. It's nothing like the comedies being made today. It sort of has an old school feel to it and reminds me of comedies like the Blues Bros and early Ivan Reitman films. I think the musical score made me feel that way. I see on here that the film was made for only 100k. That is amazing to me. I does feel low budget, but nowhere near that number. There isn't a whole lot of Chicago landmark stuff to be seen in the film, but it has a certain flavor to it that makes it very unique. If you are from Chicago and you are a fan of sketch comedy buy or rent this movie. You will recognize a lot of Chicago comedians in it. Second City actors and improvisers shine. David Pasquesi has some very funny scenes. Can't wait to see what these guys do next.
