Hopeless optimist uplifts New York City
12 April 2000 | by (Broken Bow, Oklahoma) – See all my reviews

A 2 bit actor turns his part time job of hyping a movie into becoming a public defender, of sorts. His daring exploits unite the community and provide the mayor with a political boost. Plus, the hero finds love along the way. Nice, easy little production.
