I can let the dog lie.

I really have very little to say......I watched a movie called "Smiley Face" and this was a preview on that movie. I was intrigued......I rented.........I loved. What a refreshing break. June 29, 2008

Bob Gothwaite is a genius!

This was a well thought out, directed, & acted film.
I figured that in order to be that crazy, "Buffalo" Bob Gothwaite had to be incredibly smart.
Strangely enough; this movie was also believable!
I hope to see this get airplay, hopefully on IFC.

I'm looking forward to his next work.

Not for prudes

If you can get past the subject matter, (referances to mild acts of bestiality by a young woman) you will love this movie. You almost get the feeling you are looking at a bit of someone's real life. It just has that feel. My hat is off to Bobcat for a truly unique movie. May 9, 2008

sensitive movie with an offensive subject

Who would have thought that Bob Goldwait was capable of writing and directing such a tender movie? Not me before watching this movie about what is takes to sustain a real relationship.

The movie starts out with an extremely disturbing sexual incident that thankfully takes place off camera (otherwise it would be rated "X"). We then watch Amy move past this youthful mistake and end up engaged to a young man who keeps asking her to share her dirtiest little secret. Amy wants to tell him since he has bared his soul to her and she doesn't want there to be any secrets between them but she's afraid he'll be disgusted. When they visit her dysfunctional family, Amy learns from her mother the sexual secrets she's been keeping and her mother's burden over keeping them all these years. Amy decides to tell and her fiancée is horrified and disgusted by her revelation. Unfortunately, he is not the only one who has heard her confession. Amy's tweeker brother happily uses her indiscretion to disgrace her in the eyes of their prim and proper parents who have fawned over her since childhood. The car ride home is filled with tense silence. Her parents are sickened by her past, her fiancée is appalled and Amy is disgusted with herself. The fiancée eventually forgives Amy but ends up insulting her by asking her to perform the same sexual act that he was revolted by in the first place. This scene is heartbreaking.

This movie seriously addresses the issues faced in all relationships. How much do you share with your partner? Are certain secrets best left buried? These and many more questions are answered in a thoughtful manner by none other then Bobcat, go figure............ This movie is worth viewing for its moving message about love and relationships but be warned, it contains crude sexual discussions. January 20, 2008

Sweet Movie that deserved a better chance

From the outside people can right this off and make a lot of assumptions. Those are mostly a disservice unless you are assuming that it is a fun heartwarming film.
Yes, it is for Adults but give it a chance, it's worth it.
I saw it at a preview with Bobcat and I've been championing it ever since.
So low budget that they had to "borrow" equipment from the Man Show and costumes from Desperate housewives. The garage scene is shot in a vacant house that was up for sale.
Watch out for Bobcat's Cameo.
Great film! August 28, 2007
