It hits the spot!

Having grown up in the 50s with my two best friends being Catholic, this really hit a warm spot for me! I remember both of them going thru 'first communion dress blues', and this short captured the humor and the angst and the neighborhood of 50's mid America to a tee!

Its hard to believe that a group of women could have put this period piece together so well on a low budget! The humor is terrific but it also allows time for some "ahhhhhhhhhhs", just like growing up in that climate did. The acting was wonderful too, and I, and the friends who accompanied me, had such a lovely time! I think it should be made into a full length film! Movie Fan
