Product Description
Deep in the heart of football country, Skylar Eckerman (Shaun Sipos) is a star. As quarterback of his high school football team, he’s got the skills, the looks, and the girls. Although not quite the hero compared to his next-door neighbor, Walter Pearce (Ray Liotta) is a loving husband, good father and all-round decent family man. Both men behave badly and find themselves at the local jail. As it turns out, Skylar is Walter’s neighbour and not Walter’s favorite person. A year earlier Skylar broke Walter’s daughter, Christine’s heart and she took off to pursue an altruistic tree planting lifestyle in the States. The lines are drawn when Walter installs himself right next door at Skylar’s house and enlists Skylar’s questionable help in getting Deborah back, but the Pearce women make it clear that second chances are earned… and not that easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Movie, January 21, 2008

By	Alexander Snell "Winnipeg Jets 09" (Winnipeg, MB CAN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There are those movies that really make you reflect on life and where you stand in it, and there are those that make you want those precious moments back.
This movie is one that really makes me think about life and where i've been, what I've done and what I still need to make time for to do. I loved this movie for so many reasons. Just saw it on TV and have ordered a copy. It was a great film. Perhaps not for everyone but, for me and at this point in my life; it certainly is a great movie.

I'd recommend this film if you've seen "Broken Flowers" and enjoyed it. Both are fantasic!

4.0 out of 5 stars Warm Spot , January 13, 2009

By	Lee Armstrong (Winterville, NC United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I enjoyed this film. While it may not be classic, it has great moments. Bruce McCulloch, who directed the light comedies "Stealing Harvard" & "Superstar," keeps the pace brisk. Ray Liotta, who won an Emmy for "ER" in 2005, plays Walter Pearce. Walter seems to be a rather weak man. With a marriage that has gone stale, he gives into temptation with a young assistant at his firm. His daughter Chloe goes to dinner with her family and her boyfriend Paul. Chloe is played by the lovely Rachel Blanchard who was in "Snakes on a Plane." Paul is played by Brenden Fehr who was a regular on the TV series "Roswell." On the heels of Paul & Chloe's engagement, Walter feels compelled to confess at the worst possible time that he has strayed. His wife Deborah played by Glenne Headley who was in The Amateurs begins to punish him in every way possible, which is the premise for all that follows. The other daughter Christine is played by Brooke Nevin who I enjoyed as Nikki Hudson on TV's "4400." She had her heart broken by star high school football player Skylar. Walter winds up crashing at Skylar's house, next door to his family. As Skylar, Shaun Sipos is a bright spot in the film. Looking like he could play a cousin to Brad Pitt, he must endure a big change in his life and learn how to be kind. The "buddy movie" aspect of the film greatly appealed to me. Ron Selmour, who will be in "2012" currently being advertised in theatres, has a nice cameo as the yoga teacher Ranja who tries to do more than teach. Overall, this is a feel-good movie that leaves you with a smile on your face and a warm spot in the heart. Enjoy!

1.0 out of 5 stars A Season In Hell, June 12, 2007

By	James Marceda "A Second Opinion" (Dumfries, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Why am I the first to review this movie? The answer is obvious. This one is so bad not even a woman will admit to watching this "Chick Flick." I was forced to watch and I stayed with it only to get my revenge by writing this. Any man who acts like Ray does in this movie ought to be stipped of his gender. And what man would want any of the women in this film? I am not talking about looks here. All three female leads are gorgous. What I am talking about is their behavior. Clearly Ray was not that bad a guy but his wife and daughters treat him like a war criminal. Avoid at all costs unless you want to exchange your good mood for rage. PS: A great Loving Spoonful song is wasted here to boot.
