So this isn't a very good movie. The plot meanders and doesn't really resolve anything, but it still says something very definitive about life in a kind of naive 20-year-old "Hey, I'm gonna go change the WORLD" way. Plus it has John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Spinella and Anthony Rapp basically playing himself, but naked. Which is awesome if you're me or a gay man.

Uhhhm... it was... kinda bad hahah. I mean, Anthony Rapp was cute in it. And I usually love indie films, but this one was just kind of... endless. And plotless. And... for the most part, talentless. It just seemed to go in an eternal circle of plot death.

an independent, low-budget delight. Anthony should star in more movies.

Oh-so-derivative, trite and ultimately cloying.
