Single and Dealing with It

A friend handed me this movie that he has had for a while. I was reluctant towards any indie movie, but I have to say that I enjoyed this one. It was shot well. Had really good actors. None that I had really seen in anything. The script was really good and smart. Comedy is hard to pull off on any level. It was a cross between Woody Allen and Kevin Smith. The whole movie is dialog. There are some things that I would change though. The camera crew was a little overboard, but still funny in spots. I found myself laughing. I don't know if I would watch it with my girlfriend, but who knows. I really think that if you get the chance to see this you should.

Writer Robert Rowland needs to take a bow for a very well written and executed comedy. Comedy is perhaps the hardest genre to pull off on an independent level and Rowland succeeds in being funny, poignant, touching, and heart warming. Watching SADWI will automatically draw comparisons to much more expensive Hollywood films, but here is a film that captivates and wins you over with more heart and soul than 10 studio films combined. And all this is achieved without big name actors. But this does not by any means hurt the film. In fact, you would swear that all the cast had appeared in several other motion pictures. This is a film that needs and deserves a wide mainstream audience. Why it has not been picked up is beyond me. Any film buff needs to seek out this film.
