Quotes:

'Becky' Rebecca:You were trying to impress me or something?
Casper:No, it just made me mad, is all. I kept seeing that one guy put his arm around you, and I could tell you didn't want him to. And then when you made that bank shot, he like picked you up and you're screaming for him to put you down.
'Becky' Rebecca:So you walked up to him and sucker punched him?
Casper:You think that was a sucker punch? I totally gave him a second to see that I was going to swing at him. Plus I don't think any punch to the face really counts as a sucker punch.

Yep, nice one

I'm not one for romantic movies, and i've only written a couple of IMDb reviews, but I have seen a ton of low budget movies over the last few years, and frankly this is one of the best - certainly of the US variety. In fact I'd say it's as good as Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, I can't quite remember those movies names.

This is a very cool movie. It just flows. The main protagonist starts off as a complete dooch. He's in his early 30s and rides a BMX. I almost quit the movie then, but somehow the movie trickles on and before you know it he's striking up a relationship with his high school dream girl.

I won't spoil the movie, but it's a very nice trip, that despite it's obvious basicness doesn't seem like a low budget movie at all. I personally think that this movie was completely engrossing, engaging, thought provoking, interesting, if not inspiring, engaging, no I said that already, and enchanting right from the almost beginning to the end.

Well played to all participants.
