Attractive, in a quirky sort of way.

I laughed hard, several times throughout this festival film, and I can really saw that I'd like to show this movie to everyone that I know.

Brian Hecker attended the screening and was kind enough to answer a couple of my questions, with the other audience members. He was warm and obviously enjoying his films equally warm reception by the crowd. You can see very much of himself is reflected in the authoring of this film.

Danny's father could not have been anyone other than William H. Macy. Macy delivered a stellar performance, complete with his special brand of demented enthusiasm. Kaplan as well, has earned good grades in my book with his firmly believable delivery of Danny's desperation, and obsessive behaviour.

I'll give this a ten, because nine doesn't feel right.
