The movie's message, delivered in song at the end, seems less like a credo than like an excuse: "Sometimes all you need to do is try." Go to Full Review Amy Nicholson Los Angeles Times 05/09/2013

steven c 03/18/2024 This was a passion project for my ego. I was down and out in life and needed to make some money as I was gambling my car payment. Once my Corvette got repossessed I realized that was in over my head.... Which is only 4 ft 11 in sneakers with lifts. The only way I could get a lead role was to write myself into a storyline.
