Audience Member Stupendously underrated.... I stumbled across this feature twenty years after its release. As a now 66 year old male it is glaringly evident that this was never intended to appeal to my interest group. Regardless, I find this to be an astonishingly charming film about the disassociation we are all familiar with -- some to greater extremes than others. At this time, in this era (2021) this could not be made -- even as an independent production -- due to the over-arching sensibilities of PC consideration to outré connotation. The story advances quickly enough that even a small interest will be rewarded with insightful humor that will appeal to most everyone before the lack of percussive action begins to tax the attention of many possible viewers. This takes me back to the character studies I watched in the late 1970s from various small european producers with a poetic slant, featured at The Movie House in Portland Oregon once upon a century, dimly remembered by most but warmly so by me. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Frances H Only a cynical critic would say that this movie is contrived--I loved it, and so would anyone with an ounce of humanity! The relationship between these two lonely souls so diametrically different was funny and wonderful to watch! It touched me deeply as a celebration of love and acceptance. So totally rewarding to watch! Do yourself a favor and see it! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/18 Full Review Audience Member Grade A for me. If you are a professional critic, or are otherwise constitutionally opposed to sentimentality, then fuhgeddaboudit. But if you are like me, this is the good stuff. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member "17 year old girl befriends 49 year old man." That synopsis probably has you going "Uh oh, 'Lolita' Alert," but thankfully, the movie doesn't go there. It is offbeat, refreshing, funny, sad, and altogether wonderful. Sure, it gets a little sappy in the end, but it's a GOOD kind of sappy, the kind that makes you feel better about yourself and makes you want to call your parents. In other words, this is about real emotions, not Hallmark sentimentality. Teens and middle aged men who feel alone in the world should both seek out this movie, because it's a delightful little treasure.
