Featured reviews
and commend the creative one!!!
Pressly. But this film turned out to be pretty damn good despite a
few dubious plot issues. The lead actors were very good and I
found myself getting caught up in the struggle of the two white
trash small town buddies. Their angst was right there without
hitting you over the head. In fact, the performances were all right on
even from the minor players. Thankfully, this film wasn't too
"Hollywood", but it seemed to veer into Movie of the Week territory a
few times. The visual treatment was very good and captured the
essence of the place and time.
The characters were believable and as the story unfolded, it made me realize that people can be victims of circumstance and that there is good in all people. I liked how it was filmed in Florida and that it wasn't your usual "Hollywood" happy ending type movie.
There was a lot of swearing in the movie but nothing I haven't heard in school and if the language was cleaned up, I don't think it would have seemed as real. I have known people like those in the movie who's lives seemed so hopeless that they ended up in trouble.
I thought the little black and white dog was adorable and I would like to see that cute puppy in more movies!
So, if you are mature enough to handle the language and one little glimpse on nudity, I'd say GO SEE THIS MOVIE! I bet you will like it a lot!
