Is the possibility of a major change in life so frightening that it will cause some people to accept eternal mediocrity. I guess so, but the filmmaker is pretty judgemental about all this. Small town midwestern lives can be as rewarding as life in Paris. Even if you have a crap job, you'll have a crap job in Paris as well, but you don't have to spend your nights in seedy bars, or having depressing conversations in the kitchens of rundown houses. And if you just don't belong, move.

Co-stars Lauren Holly and Jon Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi did OK, if you're curious. In fact, he's probably the best actor in the movie, but I don't think that means he'll soon be taking any bread from the table of James Earl Jones or Edward Norton. I can't think of any good reason to recommend this indy. It's a sincere effort, and I guess it's a reasonably realistic portrayal of character types that may really exist, but they are all uninteresting and unlikeable, and you won't care for a minute what happens to them.
