A Surprising Film, 12 October 2006
8/10
Author: anilos81 from United States

I saw this last night at the FAIF Film Festival in Los Angeles and thoroughly enjoyed it. I went to the theater not expecting to be so impressed and not knowing what I was going to see. The title is a little cheesy, although appropriate. The characters were lovable and believable. I haven't been so choked up at a movie in a LONG time. There were also great performances from relatively inexperienced actors, and some very cute/funny moments. All in all I would recommend it; if it is available I would like to purchase it. And I really hope it makes it to wide release! (As a side not I was sitting next to the main character and didn't even know until the lights cam up afterward
