    A MUST SEE for 2020
    A small indie film that is actually laugh out loud funny and yet poignant at times too. It felt real and a fun escape at the same time. Had a great message but not preachy. Romany Malco was hilarious as TJ, a character you can't help but fall in love with and root for, as was each and everyone of the rest of the cast. The dialog is peppered with great lines and quotes many of which I assume will end up on the front of some t-shirts! In fact there were so many great lines, I will have to watch it again to catch some of the banter I missed while laughing out loud! Watch this movie and then tell all your friends - I predict this is going to be BIG!
