n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I have never seen a movie that was so hilariously specific to exacting a suicide attempt, as a way of saying what needed to be said to prevent it.It appears that thousands of people that eventually do commit suicide, didn't have such a strong clique of good friends to compel the depressed person to consider the upside of a tough life. Most people have been sheltered and babied so much, that they become such big babies when it comes to their personal needs and unrequited desires, that it's important to spell-out the good times and memories that placed them in such a negative situation. Psychology is stranger and deeper than most people could ever imagine, unless you've known that person for years and years. It's a great thing to show the importance of friendship and support, through-out our lives. This pseudo true story is money when it describes relationships past and future with this prose. ex: The character Jamie is asked, "Do you ever finds it's harder to give someone new everything you have, when you've already given someone else, everything you had?" DEEP...and true. I found this project to be beautifully shot and on the money with the acting and directing. What a subtle gem!

My fiance' Jonah and I used to live below the Jodi & Jim Fitzpatrick in Los Angeles back in the early 90's. They were very talented actors, but also lived their lives as common folks. No egos, no attitudes, just fun loving naturally kind hearted people. They enjoyed the holidays, especially Christmas and I remember them showing all of the Christmas cartoons "Frosty," "Charlie Brown," "Rudolph," and I remember thinking how sweet that was for all of us to watch. It brought back memories. Then one day, I remember Jimmy getting a call from his mother that his High School girlfriend shot & killed herself...shocking. But, instead of Jimmy becoming depressed, he wrote a play about their relationship and a ten year reunion called "Ten Year." I know this because my fiance' (then husband) Jonah played a role in the play. Finally when we saw the movie we were so touched and happy for them, because the movie ended-up being an homage to past loves lost and friendships taken for granted. So, Jodi & Jimmy, congratulations on making such a deeply touching film. We love you both and we miss you.

I just completed working on a project with Jimmy called Distortion, and he was the only actor that came to the set prepared. He didn't have a script in his hand, he didn't have to have the script supervisor feed him lines, and he actually helped the writer, director and lead actor of the film, with his dialogue. Then I went on this website and saw that he has costarred with academy award winning actors. He learned from the best, and that's why he's a consummate professional. I'm looking forward to watching this movie. I'm sure he did his homework. I've seen a couple other of his movies that he just acted in, like Seals and Delta Force, and he was very good. The scripts weren't all that fantastic but Fitzy was good. Good luck with your films Fitzy, it was a pleasure working with you.

I usually don't enjoy dramatic romance types of shows...but...this one was very special. The words, the relationships were absolutely on the money with me. It is sometimes hard to admit you have said and done the same thing, because we all want to be perfect. Jim Fitzpatrick is a very talented young man. And I say this with great conviction because I saw the Two Act Play, which he also wrote, produced and directed called 'Ten Year,' which this film is based on. And it is almost word for word, on the money with the play. By the end of the second act, people around me were sobbing. Talk about association of the heart. It doesn't get any better than this for a true story. Corby Timbrook, the drug addict was very compelling to watch. Almost sickening at a few points, because of my younger life when I dealt with my demons, the very same way. Thank God for friends. Bravo to you all.
