Mind the Gap

The movie reminds about everyday life. You meet people who may smile or laugh but deep inside they are not happy. As you watch the movie it feels like you are living it. Each five characters had their own problems yet were laughing and smiling trying not to show what they were hiding deep inside. Each five of them took life on their own and went after their destinies. I adored Malissa's acts. Her mother told her she hated her, but yet Malissa never quit taking care of her sick mother. After her mother's death she became a traveler leaving her home and later on her car and exploring the world. There is a lot to learn from each five characters. "Mind The Gap" is the movie that will never bore you even if you watch it day after day.

This movie, while at first seems like a series of vignettes, ultimately connects to the watcher, and pulls you in, and then weaves a tale, thats heartbreaking, and heartwarming, all at the time. I was very impressed with all the performances. I will admit that I watched it solely because I am a Jill Sobule fan. Her performance was amazing in my opinion, but I was very drawn in and loved every minute of this film.

I think more people need to see it, and hopefully tell all their friends to see it. I can only hope.

Also, Elizabeth Reaser should be on everyones "to watch" list. I recently saw Stay as well, and she is amazing in that film. I cant wait to see what she does, and I hope that someday she will recognized for her talents.

At any rate, this movie is well done. Please see it, enjoy it, and be touched by it.

I watched this movie in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep. I had no idea what to expect, having never heard of the movie, and was pleasantly surprised.

What an amazing and diverse group of characters, all very complex. By the end I cared deeply for all of them.

The story lines were riveting and unpredictable. In the beginning, I couldn't imagine where this movie was going but it was a pleasure to watch it evolve.

I have not had a movie affect me like this in a very long time. Some very powerful and emotional messages....I highly recommend it and can't wait to see it again.

This was the third film I've seen written & directed by Eric Schaeffer. If you liked this film, please check out his movie "Fall". It could be classified as a romance, but not the kind that would ever cast Jennifer Aniston or Meg Ryan. "Fall" is painful and passionate and clever, and unlike any movie I've seen since. It absolutely crushes you. I have also never witnessed such intense chemistry between two actors. It absolutely crushes you. Eric Schaeffer plays the lead role himself. So far, he always stars in his own movies. In his movie "If Lucy Fell", he plays opposite Sara Jessica Parker. I'd recommend seeing this after "Fall" or "Mind the Gap" so you get a feel for Schaeffer's style first. "If Lucy Fell" is much more light-hearted than his other movies; but very witty, fun, and strange. Ben Stiller plays a hilarious role as a stereotypical artist who lives life in the abstract. I love Eric Schaeffer! I only hope he continues to bless us with his work.

Though some of the acting in this film isn't incredible, it's certainly competent. I think Eric Schaeffer is a very talented actor and director, he did a great job with this film. The five stories that are told are intriguing and the transitions between them are smooth.

I'd recommend this movie if you are looking for an interesting collage of characters and plots rounded up by a blissfully happy ending. It's nice to see a movie with a complex plot and fascinating characters. It will leave you delighted with humanity and wondering what happened to each character.

I, for one, really enjoyed this movie. I saw it on a satellite movie channel and am very tempted to go and rent it... possibly even buy it when I can get my hands on it.
