Everyone should see this film!

I loved this film! I thought the performances were great, and the writing...excellent. This is a fun, witty and sexy movie to watch. I think Academy Award consideration should be given to all of the main cast and even first time director Nick Guthe may give other well established writer/directors a run for the golden statue come Oscar time.

I can almost hear Kevin Spacey saying to Alec Baldwin "this film will be your American Beauty". Even smaller roles were getting big laughs in the theater I was in. Every frame had me hooked.

I wish this film great success and I hope anyone who wants to go see a smart, dark comedy will spend their money and see this film. You will not be wasting your time or your cash!
