Matt Weitz Dallas Morning News The coincidences are almost all supremely transparent and the characters gratingly quirky, two faults that committed acting almost redeems. But not quite. Rated: C+ Dec 16, 2004 Full Review Los Angeles Times There are a couple of affecting moments here and there, but they are lost amid more than two snail-paced hours of often maudlin tedium. Rated: 1/5 Nov 4, 2004 Full Review Ella Taylor L.A. Weekly You can see what's coming five minutes into the movie, but capable acting lends it a certain superficial charm. Nov 4, 2004 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 4/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone TheMovieChicks.com It's moving, poignant, funny, and charming. Best of all, the characters get the closure they need and when they find renewed hope, it lifts your spirits. Rated: 4/5 Dec 17, 2004 Full Review Chris Hewitt St. Paul Pioneer Press Because the performances are so true, we believe in these people, even when they're doing unbearably wacky things. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 26, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member In my top 5 of all time Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member yeah this is moldy oldie, but a lovely dramatic look at gritty slices of the lives of some unrelated people who have this weird way of crossing paths. inde drama all the way. great music by jill sobule (who starred in it) and kirshna das. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellently nuanced indie movie about the way people's lives intersect and affect each other. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Well, I did enjoy the stories of the people, but thought it was very annoying that they had to show the Mexican man dancing with a mannequin which really had nothing to do with it. The depressing stories really brought meaning to this movie and I almost started crying when John almost killed himself. The most interesting one had to be Malissa's. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Great. Better than the average 'intersecting stories' movie. "If the small dreams can't come true, how will he ever believe in the big ones?" Although the line "There's more to life than music" made me REALLY sad! haha :) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved following all the different stories and seeing them all connect in the end. The choice of actors in this was perfect! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
