Just wish she had more scenes as she was the one bright spot in the entire film. Hard to grow up when everything around you is falling apart. PJ somehow manages to turn out alright, although he will carry a load of guilt until his dying day. The scenery only enhanced the bleakness of the script. Well done, if a bit slow occasionally. Stay with it. There is a hint of redemption at the end.

Freaking awesome movie!!!! I love America Ferrera in anything she plays in. This story line was very good and it really drew me in. The soundtrack was also moving. Great acting and great film!

an alright sombre drama, that, unlike some others i've seen recently, has an uplifting message and ending. tom guiry delivers a good performance, and so does america ferrara, although she isn't in the film much

As a huge independent film junkie, this movie seemed like something I'd like. It wasn't. I felt no sympathy at all for PJ Lee (the main character).

Interesting character study that was better than I expected. The main character is Smalls from The Sandlot...amazing.
