Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

csobero This is one of those independent movies where you can tell by watching just how much the actors got into the material. Arguably, they all shine magnificently here in this intriguing piece. The vast majority of the action in this movie takes place in the living room and kitchen of a house, and the close proximity of all the characters to one another heightens the tension incrementally, making their moments seem much more real and easy to relate to.The movie follows a couple, the Bridges, who are growing apart under the stress of taking care of their disabled son. While their marriage is on the brink of collapse, their living room roof literally collapses when a plane carrying a mysterious and wonderfully romantic couple crashes on their house. What happens in the next few hours in the characters' lives is a transformation as they come to terms with their secrets and insecurities.The acting here is solid by seasoned pros. Bleethe is surprisingly good (I had always assumed she wasn't particularly talented given her "Baywatch" stint, but the girl can actually act), and Ritter and Williams are so convincing, you feel like they are a real estranged couple. Lloyd proves he is even more effective as a dramatic actor than a comedic one (if you can imagine that), and Zegers brings real compassion to his portrayal of a disabled boy without falling into schmaltzy stereotypes we see so often on film.Kudos to the writing and the casting.

indy_go_blue44 I stumbled onto this movie while looking for a cheapy monster flick. At first disappointed, I continued to watch because of the actors. It was obvious that there was a major strain in the household, that it was focused on the boy, but the question running beneath most of the movie is why? Yes there are times you have to stretch your credibility, like with the boy causing the plane to crash into the roof and the two people stepping out of it unharmed. So that makes it fantasy, so what? The interaction between the main characters as their relationship develops, the return of romance into the life of Ritter and Williams characters lives are done very well and I think without being cloying, if you accept the premise that a tragedy and guilt have driven them apart. I thoroughly enjoyed the ending, when the reasons for everything become clear and the families bond of love and trust is reestablished. Exactly what Jarvis and Pepper are doesn't matter to me, whether angelic or simply alien and actually added some spice to the movie. We don't have to be told everything. I also thought the soundtrack by Sam Phillips was super and I've become a big fan of hers. I've tried and tried to find the song that closed out the show, but apparently it's never been released.

Mikee-Mollisch Wow! I can't believe I could ever be bored enough to sit through this picture in it's entirety. Nearly every line of dialogue seemed to drop on the floor, as this picture seemed to be trying to emulate the quirky charm of a small independent film,but it was more like torture. I'm afraid I've stunted my development by making it half way !While there might have been a redeeming ending, had I been able to suffer through it . . . . . I couldn't, with the lame dialogue, hugely awkward silences, and complete lack of flow to it. The supposedly romantic "How (Lloyd) & (Bleeth) Met" story was stupendously bad. I couldn't begin to find Lloyd or Bleeth right for their parts. A talented director might be able to decide whether this was supposed to be funny, or sad, or dramatic . . . but to me it was just AWKWARD drivel.This may be the worst TV movie I've ever seen. . . . what were they thinking ?

Matt73 Even though the story is not that impressive, the casts are brilliant! Everyone was acting to the limit, making this movie a showcase of talent.Kevin Zegers is simply great! He never seemed to forget what his character was supposed to behave, with the same gestures all the time. I don't know if it's because of the tight supervision by the director...All in all, it's a different kind of movie, and I'm sure you can still enjoy it, whoever you are.
