I *just* finished watching this on HBO and I am incredibly moved and grateful. Moved by a well done film-- but more so grateful for the sheer fact that these women existed and served and sacrificed for the benefit of women like me. Thank you to HBO for helping bring to life a part of our history that has been underrepresented in film... and for investing in a project that inspired me for all the RIGHT reasons. Kudos to the cast and crew-- how fortunate you must feel to have been a part of this.

Fathers, Mothers... sit down with you daughters and sons and watch this with them... as proof that EVERYONE can make a difference that is felt for lifetimes to come.

Got a preview of this last night. Enjoyed it. Was definitely engaging and kept me wondering how it would pan out in the end. Acting was a bit uneven from some of the actors-- especially the wives. Their performances weren't very convincing. John Stamos did a fine job-- maybe b/c his character wasn't too far of a stretch??? Daniel London could have been a bit stronger... came across as whiny at times... and still couldn't believe that he and Stamos would have remained so tight after all that time... the connections between the couples didn't seem "close enough" for them to consider what they were considering.

Dialog was well written-- tho' a little stilted on delivery... definitely several laugh out loud moments. Extraneous characters were just that... very extraneous and didn't offer too much value (esp. the two guys from the office... what WERE they doing in this film???)... I know it's an independent film, but thought the editing was a bit chopping and the sound quality was just fair... still... with all that taken into account, it was a good flick-- thought provoking, stereotype reinforcing to some extent (good? bad?) and one that would DEFINITELY lead to some very lively discussion afterwards, esp. if you see it in mixed company (such as with your best friend and his/her hottie husband/wife).
