good, but a bit heavy, 10 May 2004
7/10
Author: donegreg from ohio

This low budget character drama uses alot of scenic imagery in conveying it's overall message. Solid performances throughout by the actors, with maybe only a hint of a stiffness, which usually permeates the real low budget indies.

This is a movie about relationships, mainly father-son, but also different friendships, and their unique perspectives of the world they live in.

I would compare it to Lost in Translation, in that it can seem slow in establishing the characters and the setting. So it's really the type of movie for those who enjoy and appreciate character studies.

My only real complaint is that parts seemed to be a bit heavy, or sappy, and while there are some, it didn't feel like there were enough light-hearted moments to balance it out.

So if you're only into popcorn flicks, or low budget fare that's laughably bad, then it's not for you. This one is for the character indie film lover.
