Bill's Comments

I went to this movie for one reason -- The son of a close friend has a bit part in it. I expected a film directed at teenagers and that's what I got. I didn't expect to see any particularly good story or good acting. I was pleasantly surprised. The script had more substance than expected and I thought that the actors were pretty good. I don't think that many of you ought to jump out of your chair and run out to see it. It is really only a story for the young. But, at least, it was done with an unexpected level of quality such that I did not have to resist any urges to leave in the middle. My friend's son was on screen for only a minute, but here's hoping there are larger roles in his future!
