Enough Already

I luckily happened to catch this film on our local HBO. From the very start of the film, hearing the typically sophisticated-yet-fun piano-played theme, I knew this film was my kind of flick - small, simple, humourous and decent growing-up story that lets you smile a little afterward without being cheesy.

I think it's such a pity this film didn't get the recognition it deserves, for it's a far better one than average indie flicks touted and raved with no apparent reason.

Tom Keenan hits the mark with this insightful look at the transition from childhood freedom to the entanglements of "love" and the real world. A talented cast gets you to thinking whether you should buy that diamond ring or a Harley-Davidson. It hit so close to home that my girlfriend thought it was my way of breaking up with her. Keenan's cameo (ala Hitchcock) suggests that if his career as a movie maker doesn't work out, maybe he should give it a go in front of the cameras.

This movie is hard to find, but worth the effort. Hopefully it will find a wider release.
