This movie's script and situations break no new ground, and the camera work is standard fare. The main reason to see the movie is the performances. A group of unknown actors bring out the best in one another's abilities. A few exchanges between them seem forced (there is a gay subplot which just does not work), and the characters spend too much of their time sniping at each other to be truly likeable. Still, the movie showcases the aimlessness of many people I know in their late twenties/early thirties; you may feel that you are watching your friends on film.

What else can I say? This movie spoke to my heart, my mind, and my soul! Jennifer Connelly is truly a beauty in this movie, and I relate so much to Ellie, her character. I am so excited to know that it is available!

...boring, slow moving, meandering. Couldn't care less about the characters, their past, present or future. It might have been only SLIGHTLY entertaining if the actors had preformed fully nude. Truly a strong competitor for the worst film bucket.

What a great movie! Came across this one unexpectally, and what a find it was! Ellie (Jennifer Connelly) is a person trying to find herself in her complicated world. Setting takes place at a summer home on a lake while we are let in on Ellie's dreams and thoughts. Connelly is beauty no matter what setting she is in. This movie is one of the best "lower budget movies" I have ever seen. If you appreciate drama, diverse characters and a movie that combines all of these with real life feelings, then this is the one for you!

As I'm writing this, it says "only 4 left in stock", after some poor souls buy those last four, this DVD sould be outlawed! I got it because I'm a big fan of Jennifer and I knew she was brilliant in her early work. This was not an exception, as far as Jennifer is concerned, she did some excellent acting, but this is about all there is. The film is so badly written, so boring, so pointless and so slow I wished I had longer hair so that I could have pulled it out. It is this bad.

The transfer quality is cheapish and the sound no better. It does not have subtitles or extras or anything. Just an amateur looking menu leading to a crappy movie.

This DVD is a great gift to one of your enemies or someone that you really want to take revenge on. Just tell them that it gets better near the end to guarantee they will suffer through the whole thing before they are hit with the end credits and be scarred for life!

It`s a little bit boring.... the only thing that save the movie is Jennifer Connelly... But the light, the script, the story ..Oh my God...It seems to me like a French movie .... Please Jennifer punch in the nose to your agent ! Carlos Gonzalez Fernandez

This movie was just plain awful. Nothing happens! It's "The Big Chill" for the 90's with no plot, lots of unhappy people, and one character who's so selfish and unlikeable he ruins the charm the rest of the cast tries to generate. A big fat waste of some fine actors. Disappointing.

A masterpeace. This movie is for anyone who dreams and also has to deal with everyday life. It is truthful yet wispy. And if you love Jennifer Connelly this movie will blow you away. She plays a womon who lives in a dream world and because of this everyone treats her different (like a child). But she shows them she is out there but is also not blind. This is a movie not to be missed. And If you are a dreamer like me, you will see this movie as the truth. This movie is also about knowing what you want and making unclear choices. It started as a weekend to relax with friends and it ended as a weekend that changed their lives.
