I think what makes this movie unique is that in other movies that we’ve seen there would be a stranger that came into the lives of a group of people and showed them the errors in their ways before riding off into the sunset.  In this movie the main characters all need a boost from someone else but simultaneously bringing something to someone else’s life.  The best part about it is that none of the characters seem to be conscious of what they need and what they are offering – in the end it just kind of all comes together.  It is an easy watch.
