Sorry, this movie sucks

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

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

It was an interesting movie. It touched on several subjects that are important in our society. Racism, Feelings of Loneliness, Religious Bible Thumping, etc.The movie was well done but had the feel of a low budget B grade love story. The actors did a mediocre job in the first half of the movie, but got better in the second half. I would have enjoyed it if it wasn't for the horribly tragic ending. Not that it hasn't been done before, but you see it coming a mile away. It would have been interesting if the director gave us a more uplifting end to this tale, instead, it's tragic and feels unresolved (and at points defying of logic and common sense). It could have been worth a nice 7 for what it is, but as it stands, it only gets a 4

I recently saw this late at night with my wife. We were both shocked we had never heard of it. It is truly a brilliant piece of film-making. Though simply shot, the film is put together, by editor Troy Niemans in a way that moves the beautiful story at a perfect pace and allows the characters and story to shine. This is a great date flick, well directed, that relies on characters and story... I miss this kind of film in our cinemas today. Diego Lunes

I was given the opportunity to view this film at the Nashville Independent Film Festival and it blew me away. The actors embodied the roles with such emotion. I was mesmerized. It brought me to tears several times. Particularly in Lolly Ann's description of her parents' lack of love for her and their disapproval of her, I was moved nearly to sobs. I felt the religous demands of her parents were realistically played out. That is not often the case in films where that concept is often dealt with cartoonishly. Lolly Ann is obviously a wounded girl who is only beginning to realize the extent of her hurt. The tender romance that develops also rings true. This film stayed with me long after I left the theater. In addition, the editing, cinemetography and the use of a dissolve-to-white technique made the film seem almost magical. I was able to talk with Director Don Most for quite some time after the film and I was amazed at the care and attention he put into this film. He is a talented director. I truly hope he gets the wider distribution he seeks for it, though I doubt the average viewer would appreciate the gem that it is.

Great, touching story with solid acting. I think that both of the lead actors have bright futures ahead of them. The story is well-written-- a tragic story with a soft touch (and plenty of humor). The scenery and cinematography are great. The direction is first rate. An enjoyable evening at the movies...
