a quirky love story

Rating: 6/10 (28 July 2005)

This film was about a loser wanna-be actor, Andrew, who returns home to attend his mom's funeral. We learn he's responsible for his mom's disability and lived a screwed up life as a kid all doped up on psych meds. His dad's a psych doctor, but they can't communicate. He stays for a few days and hangs out with some old friends, one who is a pothead and the other is a millionaire from an invention. He meets a girl, Sam, and they talk and soon he is going to her house. They spend every day together. She's quirky in a good way, with her pet cemetery and habitual lying, and soft helmet.
So, the ending is predictable. Andrew must choose to leave or stay with his new relationship.
The acting and story were OK. I didn't think the plot was original enough to call this great.
FINAL VERDICT: If you like indie films, you'll probably like this. It doesn't have any thrills but tells an every day story.
