Excellent Romedy/Dramedy

Excellent first time feature. They really hit the Romedy/Dramedy nail on the head.

The performances are solid as a rock. It is a rarity to find this caliber of acting in an independent flick. Maybe the Director just knew how to direct, but alas, another rarity in an indie. Either way the pay off is on screen.

The picture set up's and composition are great. The cinematography really shows an eye for details. Shades of blue and red highlighting the right moods. Add unique camera angles that could only come from and indie perspective to spruce up the landscape, and you get a fresh mix of indie art-house and polished Hollywood.

The musical score flat out rocks. It fits the flicks tone to a "T". It's so perfect, and dead on that I would imagine it cost a pretty penny for music alone.

To top it all off, in twined with the endearing moments (that kept the wife in smiles,) there was some pretty great nipple twisting laugh out loud moments (that kept me in stitches.)

Check it out, you won't regret it.
