    Well worth viewing!!!

    This movie was very enjoyable, and had a nice balance of comedy and romance. The lead characters (played by Dan Trujillo and Cecily Ryan) had good on screen chemistry, and the rest of the cast supported the movie well.

    The production of the movie was pretty solid as well. You could tell that the crew were serious in their focus. I also really enjoyed the soundtrack to the movie.

    Overall I would recommend this movie to anyone. It was very honest in its effort to accurately depict the confusing lives of young adults in American society.

    Wonderful, light hearted, and thoroughly enjoyable. Editing, acting, camera work, music, and storyline make this an utterly delightful low budget indie. I was totally entertained throughout the movie, which was paced very well!

    Good use of impromptu dialog and chemistry between actors.

    Cute, current vibe of young loves and friends.

    A real slice of middle class youth life.

    Loved the music!

    I think Dan Trujillo is hot! My boyfriend thinks Cecily Ryan is Hot! The "two friends" are funny and believable.

    "A Must See" Movie
