A clean and entertaining look at some of the core elements of human interaction. Personalities and lifestyle strategies may contrast as strongly as cold ice cream and a hot summer day, but without a little bravery and creativity, history's greatest flavor combinations would never have melted together. The cast repeatedly tackles scenes carried only by intimate one-on-one exchanges on deeply personal topics: dialog that's extremely difficult to express in real life and equally hard to reproduce on film. But they succeed admirably, and even though their characters sometimes feel like they're about to sink, they show us that tolerance can be learned even if it can't be taught, and acceptance can be extended to others once it's extended to self.

I rented this from Blockbuster because I like the actors in it, but I didn't know what to expect. You get so involved with the story and characters, after the first 10 minutes you get sucked right in... and the film was shot very artistically as well. The acting is superb, and you really feel for everyone. The drama is intelligently surrounded by subtle comedy and you can easily relate to the diverse characters which are all brought together despite the obstacles they face. It's truly an insightful little film with lots of heart and I hope these guys make more films. It was a pleasure to watch! Great ensemble! Great direction! I highly recommend it!
