User Reviews

Great little gem

I don't get the rating and some of the reviews on this. It's one of my favorite 'lite' movies. I think the casting is perfect, the acting is good - even some great - moments. In my humble opinion, Cara Pifko and Ennis Esmer delivered some great lines superbly. Cara's gorgeous and perky. Ennis is funny and self-deprecating. The writing and dialog are very good. And I think the main characters carry off their respective transformations very believably. Kevin Jubinville's performance is a bit stiff but then his character, Cliff, is a bit phony and stiff. The emotional balance of this movie is much less syrupy than a lot of hallmark types that rate much higher. Certainly well worth the price - I got it from Amazon for under $5. I loved it and highly recommend it as an under-rated gem with a simple message that a lot of people I know could stand to hear.
