I rented this movie the other day and really enjoyed it - I thought it was very well done and certainly one of the better movies about this subject. It was interesting this is was based on a true story and that Rob Moretti had the courage to play the man who had caused him so much pain.
Anyways, I was shocked at the low rating, but then noticed that only 35 people have voted so far. So hopefully the rating will rise as more people watch the film.

Well IMDb raters are whores, and if its not the Godfather, its impossible to get like above 9.
shareVery few people know about the existence of this movie, and it's not hard to see why. Click on the actors, each of them appeared in only 1-2 other films, and who knows Rob Moretti? Anyway, 102 people have voted so far, most votes are 10, and the average is 4.9. Really interesting.
shareits very obvious why this movie got a low rating. Not saying its the right reason. but its the obvious one. Most people who rate it low probably havent even seen it. The world isnt and will never be perfect.

It has a low rating because it sucked. The acting was so bad I thought I was watching a made for tv movie. If the acting were better the movie might have been saved.
shareGee, that was a bit rude. Not to worry, I won't take it personally.
sharewhy would you take it personally, it's not your movie and it wasn't your acting.
not to sling mud or anything, your comment just didn't make sense.
---still pulling as you push away---
it is my movie
shareHa ha ha...touche--how often does anyone get to use THAT line!
This movie was amazing...the technical challenges that show the strains of the limited budget were more than overcome by the performances; they raised this far above the level of similar low-budget fare with higher budgets (mom's breakdown in front of the garage was a beautifully heart-wrenching scene). Thankfully we live in an age where independent voices can be heard despite all the bombast from the latest Hollywood pablum, where a movie with something different to say can surface occasionally; the "third act" of this would never have survived a script meeting with a board of H'wood executives, who would have been sitting around clutching their "Syd Fields" in their ADD-riddled hands, turning it into something safe, predictable and dull. One of the only conceivable missteps was, perhaps, the over-the-top queen character...I can only assume he's based on a guy who is really like that--they are out there--but something got lost in translation, either the acting or direction, making him a one-note joke. Again, the rest of the acting is so strong and the story compelling enough, it's a minor quibble.
I'm not sure how one follows up a story based on one's life and so far it doesn't look like the author of this movie has gotten the opportunity to do so anyway...it's a shame, but at least this got made, and made well...quite an accomplishment, actually.
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds
wow. TonyDood replied appropriately to this. I laughed out loud for almost 30 seconds at Rob-1086's response.
shareYeah, me too. Classic IMDB moment. Quality.
And after reading these reviews I'm gonna check this movie out.
Thanks.

I haven't yet seen the movie, but I applaud your keeping up with the fans and the fannies.
