Wonderfully acted and enjoyable film

The movie was worth the trip from Edison to Red Bank. I enjoyed every minute of the film and wish the filmmakers and cast a lot of luck in the future. The film had heart and it showed that even if you don't have a big budget, you can still make a high quality motion picture. I hope to be seeing more from these guys. Great job!
