I think the critic review on this site is much more helpful than the one above - although this is obviously a low-budget indie with no big stars, I found the performances to be fairly astonishing - I understand the lead actor was nominated for at least four best acting nominations on the film festival circuit and won BEST ACTOR at TexanDance, where the film also picked up BEST ROMANTIC COMEDY. The direction makes each new elevator event different and you begin to look forward to finding out who's getting on next! The film's website also lists four other festival wins and lots of nominations. Again, to dispute the review above, each of the subplots was developed neatly and wrapped up, even the one with the dog! The writing was clever and I really cared about the characters, who are the focus of the story. There are also two really moving songs thrown in, one written by the director. Overall, I thought it was solid on every level for this kind of production - and would recommend this charming film to anyone who likes romantic comedies with a dose of realism thrown in!
