If anyone out there has more information on the release date of this movie and when we will finally be able to see it in theatres or on DVD please reply. I cannot stand the wait for this. I was a featured extra on this set and it was my first big opportunity. I am dying to see if I actually ended up in it and not on the cutting room floor! Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure, I've been waiting for quite a while. If I end up seeing it, I'll keep ad eye out for you. What scene will u be in?
shareAnnie from LDI who casted for the movie said they showed it at a film festival and they really liked it, but wanted them to go back and change the ending, so who knows...
shareAnybody know the status of this movie? My grandmothers religious picture is on the wall because she met one of the directors at her yard sale and it was filmed right near my other grandmothers house.
It's going to play at the Stony Bropok Film Festival in NY on July 25th 2005.

Happened upon this delight half-way through and can't wait to view it tonight in its entirety. I dislike religion and avoid individuals who embrace religion but miss the essential point.
I flipped to this channel and after clicking the info, I wasn't too interested but something held my attention and soon I was laughing out loud, really. The storyline seemed dreadfully tiresome, but the families of the two main characters Joey and Mary are so irreverently funny that even the cynical will find amusement.
The humor breeds on irony and satire, resulting in dysfunctional and angelic characters who do and say wickedly funny things. More importantly, the comic moments are not anticipated as they are in most of the tired and recycled comedies that Hollywood seems willing to endlessly film. Perhaps, because I was laughing so hard at one moment and dabbing at my tears in other moments I was able to see the essential point of this film.
Apparently the originality and intelligence of the film doomed its release to straight to video (at least AFAIK) but the miracle is that it even got made.
Kudos to Vincent Pagano (I think that's his name) who plays the main character and who wrote a fine script and an inspired tale. That a film could deal with such a topic and be funny is miraculous, but the film AND the points it makes are about love and miracles. And, I know that doesn't sound funny but it is... and that too is a miracle.
