The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

In general, movie is OK. It's decently acted, directed, story is OK, deals with real people having real issues.But, even though one of the presumably main "messages" of the movie is that everybody needs a purpose (in life), the movie doesn't seem to have one. Sure, one could argue is that the purpose of the movie is to inform you that everybody needs a purpose... but that's very, very weak.It seems to have a well known problem of first-time directors, especially established actors. Director seems to care more about "not screwing up" and "doing a professional job" (to overcome some objections like "this actress thinks she can direct"), then the movie itself. She just lets the story go its way, but, while such things can work well in books, they rarely work so well in movies.The thing is, by the end the mentally challenged guy hasn't really found a purpose. As his surrogate father points out, going around the bridge trying to find out who wants to jump and prevent them, isn't a real job. Without some support system, he's bound to either screw up (make someone jump who actually didn't really want to) or simply fail and get depressed again, wearing the mascot head for weeks. Maybe Tally could have helped him to find some group that actually provides such a support system - after all, she is Supergirl ;) and San Francisco is a big city. Not sure that 's the best ending to the story, but it's certainly _an_ ending.Bottom line, if you like Jennifer Morrison or some of the actors of this movie, it's an OK watch, sort of like having a chat with some friends. Otherwise, skip this.

A very sweet film made with much affection and that continuously transmits good feelings in a genuine and spontaneous way, well only for this it deserves to be seen, films like this, small, independent and made with the heart should be rewarded with at least one vision on your part. Of course it is not a perfect film, in fact it has several problems regarding the rhythm a bit 'too slow, not that this is wrong but it proves inadequate with the type of story and especially with the kind of approach that the director chooses to give, for this reason the film has some difficulties to involve the spectator; It also focuses too much on certain topics that should only be in passing and ends up not knowing how to get out of it and in this way it deepens too little other that could have meant a leap in quality for the film, instead they are quickly considered in the final part which looks a little hasty and less exciting than it could have been, which prevents the film from releasing its great potential. It could have been better but, despite these problems, the film still manages to enter the heart of the viewer for at least an hour and a half thanks mainly to real and credible characters, well interpreted and linked to each other by such honest and human relationships to be pillar and strong point of the whole film. Noteworthy is also the technical sector to say the least dignified given the small size of the product, in which stands out the hot photography very well taken care of.

This movie can be difficult to watch; you are watching a quirky, obviously mentally challenged guy try to find his way in the world. a good-hearted person knows that everyone is different and unique and beautiful in their own way; of course, that was how I saw him! But that doesn't mean that it isn't normal for someone to want to yell at him for pretending to be someone that he is not. The movie shows the messy, chaotic, disheveled way that things evolve in people's lives-how they affect one another and subtly cause change in the other. Probably a lot of the interactions he had with some people were implausible, but that's what movies are for. Slogging through, he eventually makes it to the purpose in life that can work for him. This movie can be seen as how God's grace works in people's lives, and I enjoyed seeing an example here. Anyway, if you are not good-hearted, you will probably just get frustrated by him as well as the other seeming "losers" around him.

I just watched this films premier at Austin Film Festival and have to say I was really impressed. Jennifer has proved herself to be a very capable and impressive director and I will be eager to see where she goes next as a director. I went in knowing next to nothing about this film because it does not yet have a published trailer (very unfortunate) - however I took a chance on it because it sounded like an interesting story and I like many of the people involved in the film. I was blown away. The acting was amazing from seasoned veterans and the pace, music and feel of the movie was really captivating. I have no doubt this this movie will find its way to the big screen soon and when it does - be sure to put it on your list.This movie has some great comedic moments and I loved seeing the world through this simple-minded characters eyes. Feel-good movie of the year! *****-Hunter
