    Wish more movies were like this!
    I don't understand how people can say that this film wasn't good or lacked depth. The main character wrestles with career challenges, prioritizing work and friendship/love, abortion, etc.

    And that's not deep how . . . ?

    Secondly the directing was brilliant. The editing was more than interesting, very fluid. Great music and movement from scene to scene was always eye catching. I thought the narrator approach was original. Yeah it's been done before. But this was very tasteful and established a relationship between the audience and Jake.

    Steven Dorff and and the beautiful Judith Godreche did an excellent and believable job as characters that I think anyone who's ever been in love could identify with. Or at least been in love and lost that love for whatever reason. The last line of the movie says it all.

    So to Phil Joanou for this extremely under rated movie . . . Great job! The movie hit close to home and could not have come at a more appropriate time in my life.
