10/20/2014 Not A Bad Effort From Ed Burns (Supporting Acting Credit) Whom Wrote & Directed This Little Diddy. I Liked The Relatively Unknown Cast & The Minimal Style Of Production. The Only Downside Was The Male-Lead Love-Interest Had Such An Awkward Style, Maybe This Was Part Of His Character?? ..But It Made For A Random Performance, Sometimes Good, But Mostly Rubbish. Everyone Else Was Great. Good To See Some New Faces Bringing It Forward In A Story That Has A Nice Loose-Ends Tied All Up Story.

I'm surprised at how disappointing this film is. Writer/director Edward Burns often crafts complex, colorful characters and puts them in interesting relationship dilemmas. The formula usually works, but these characters are incredibly plastic. Matt Bush says his lines, and that's all that can be said for him. He's nice, as required by the plot, but there's nothing interesting about him. Burns's theme can be summed up by the stupid cliche, "Nice guys finish last." As evinced by Burns and the cliche, "nice" in this context means "weak" or "ineffectual." Thus, the film doesn't say anything unique about niceness or that sticking to a code requires strength and character. Johnny's code is society's code, the code set for him by everybody else, so there's no individuality to the character. Overall, unlike most of Burns's work, this movie sucks. See more Frances H 05/08/2013 Trite and not very interesting, or well acted. Rather dull. See more 04/22/2013 It's a very nice movie, a little bit corny but still interesting. See more 04/02/2013 Slightly predictable, but also warm and entertaining rom-com See more 03/01/2013 It was alright. Not quite what I expected. Johnny is almost insufferably uptight. Yes, he's a nice guy but somehow that becomes synonymous with being a stick about everything and after a while it gets irritating. His fiancee is horrendous and grating. Uncle Terry is funny sometimes but ultimately repugnant and trifling. See more Read all reviews
