Trivia:
When Rose-Johnny and Jack talk by telephone through the glass, their reflections are always visible when they aren't in the shot. In The Silence of the Lambs (1991), this effect is also used between Starling and Hannibal Lector. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: You can see Forest Whitaker's reflection in glass in the scene where he sits next to his wife on the bench, as if the shot has been taken from inside a car. moreQuotes:
Velvet Larry: But on Christmas Eve, I'm gonna have a lot of very lonely people out of my club. Some even thinking about killing themselves. And they come here looking for companionship. They're looking for a little bit of love. They are looking for a little bit of hope. moreSoundtrack:

You would think that notable actors/actresses such as Ray Liotta, Forest Whitaker, Jessica Biel, and Lisa Kudrow would've lit the stage in this movie.However, this was definitely not the case - especially in a poorly plotted movie.
Biel and Whitaker in particular, really did a sub par job in terms of their acting performance. Briefly explained, Biel is a stressed single mom stripper in pursuit of supporting her son who is in a Coma. Her father, Liotta, is a guilt-filled man whom has just been released after being incarcerated for 25 years. Throughout the movie, he attempts to enter his daughter's life and gain her forgiveness. Biel, financially frustrated has never seen her father since birth.
On the other side of the story, Whitaker, also a stressed man after killing his wife in a car accident, loses meaning in life and is on the brink of suicide with guilt on his shoulders. However, his Christian faith prevents him from taking his own life - an apparent sin. In turn, he attempts to seek someone that will take part in his assisted-suicide.
Although the scenarios in this movie are heart-warming bounded, they are put to the shitter with the poor acting. Oh well, I guess Biel's first actual frontal nude scene does make up for the garbage acting.
It does not matter if you are lesbian or not,one must admit, Jessica Biel is a fine species of woman.
