Overview
After discovering he might die soon, a timid young man along with his estranged and outrageous childhood friends, embark on a quest for closure on why the love of his life left.
At the center of this movie are some good and sweet intentions but…. wow. Just wow. This movie is a hot mess. Was there an editor? How about someone to review the dialog? Emma Kenney’s character seemed to have been added as an afterthought. When she was first on screen I wondered if she was a figment of his imagination and then later on it was shown that she wasn’t as she – quite inexplicably – suddenly had feelings for a guy she didn’t even know. I could go on and on but it would be a waste of my time. I watch a lot of indie films – this one is pretty bad.
