The review notes: "This contemporary tale is a look at a college campus and the people involved in it, including a philosophy teacher who struggles over the death of his wife and simultaneously grapples with a debt he owes to drug dealers; a student who thinks he may have found the girl of his dreams but isn't mature ' enough to leave behind getting wasted with his friends; a student determined to carry out a hateful act; and a teacher who struggles with his sexual preference. Some of the actors are fine in their roles, some are, well, less than fine. But standing out from among the performers is Jim Siokos as Tom Adams, an instructor who is in debt to drug suppliers. He's one of those rare actors who is so natural it's uncanny he's beyond good. Bluebox would bode well to use his talent again."  Clark, Eric (2004-08-05).

I don't personally have access to Newspapers.com, and honestly I'm not sure I would've thought to check it even if I did.  Thank you for informing me of an extremely helpful resource I'll need to look into in the future and for finding those sources.
