    • Quotes

      David Jennings: Can you believe that?

      Jon: Who cares? This is all her fault anyway.

      David Jennings: I don't want to hear it.

      Jon: It's true.

      David Jennings: It's not true!

      Jon: If it wasn't for her mom and dad...

      David Jennings: No Jon, I don't ever want to hear you say that. We can't just start blaming each other when we get angry for what happened. You get it?

      Emily Jennings: I forgot my keys... thanks Jon.

      David Jennings: Just great.

    Joe's talent is immense
    This is the year 2020. I have watched this film 3 times. Joe's talent as a writer, director and actor is vastly underrated. I have also watched his feature Undrafted. Again Joe deserves many accolades. I look forward to seeing more of his work.
