Well what can I say? It's a chick flick that actually works for guys too. Who knew? Great performances and casting. Realistic nuances in character and story. A wild soundtrack. The film-makers had a chance to wimp out several times in the plot, and they didn't. They went for realism instead of movie convention. A drama about a serious situation, but it's funny as hell too. I can only stand up and applaud. All this from a first-time screenwriter. Two admiring thumbs up!
