    Not that great of a movie.

    Very slow burn, not funny,poorly directed. Maybe if it had a budget over 15,000 it may have been a little better. But you just can't put a price tag on a director and think it would be directed any better. Falls well short of a movie I would recommend. Sorry but 2 thumbs down. But actress Dawna Lee hiesing does give a great proformace.

    It's a Heart-Felt , Heart-Tugging , Heart-Wrenching Joy Ride Filled with Hearty-Laughter !

    This is a Story of one man's Journey to Rid HimSelf of His PTSD Demons ; & the Greatest , Most Powerful Tale of True-Love that I've ever seen in any Motion Picture ! While I'm Not at All Familiar with Writer , Director , & Star John Reign , or any of his Work , He has a Distinct & Powerful Ability to Draw Out Raw Emotion from his Cast & Convey it on Film , like No Other ! Although He Doesn't Fit the Appearance of the Traditional Leading Man , John Reign Certainly Fills The Bill as 'John Kayhill' . Kayhill is a War Veteran who's Turned his life around from utter despair ; & Now has a Loving Wife & a small but tight group of Friends & CoWorkers . The Role of His Wife 'Skye Kayhill' Calls for Compassion , Humor , & Love ; & the Always Dynamic Dawna Lee Heising Accomplishes it in Spades ! She Exhibited an Emotional Roller-Coaster & Deserves a Slew of Awards for the Finished Product ! Renowned Martial-Artist , Actor , & Action Film Star Aki Aleong Portrays 'Skye's Father' , who brings both Wisdom & Experience to the Role ! Lovely Ashley Gallo is Wonderful as John's Daughter 'Judy' ; & Thomas Stoops is OutStanding as John's Mentally Deficient Brother 'Rodney Kayhill ! In Fact the Whole Cast is Brilliant ; & they Should be Proud of this Great Work of Art ! Of Special Note , to me , if Not Everyone , is the Appearance of Gorgeous Janet Jay & Jumpin' James Harmon as their Alter-Egos 'Mummy & The Monkey , Horror Hosts in their Full Regalia ! I cannot express in mere words how Much I enjoyed this subtle but Powerful Movie ; & how it left me , a Full-Grown Man ,in Tears . On a Closing , But Lighter Note , I want to Thank John Reign for Putting America's Darling Dawna Lee Heising in a Bathing Suit ; thus Allowing me to Observe Her God-Given Gifts of Beauty !
