Pope Dreams on DVD...It's about freaking time

I have seen this film twice now. The first time was in Lubbock, Texas at the undergraduate residence of Jake Freakley over a couple cases of beer in 2005 before going to Iraq for the first time. The second was at the Nashville Fylmz Festival in 2007 where it won most inspiring film. This is without a doubt the greatest independent film of all time. Ok sure, you're probably thinking to yourself, "But you just think that because your best friend is the star of the movie." Lol, well, you're absolutely right. And I'm okay with that. And it doesn't make my opinion wrong. Definitely worth checking out. A story of hope, with just a little bit of edge so that you know it's real. What's worth living for if you can't make mistakes, not be perfect, and get hurt a little along the way? Most people can relate to Andy Venable: he's not perfect, and hurts just like you and me, but through a little determination accomplishes something far from perfect and finds something close to love along the way...and there's nothing wrong with that, at least not in my book.
