This film was named "Frost" at some point. It's a beautiful gem of a movie in a low budget independent film style. Illegal gorilla filming in New York City at its best. Jason Behr gives a beautifully understated and charming performance in the role of the ultimate NYC playboy who spins into a self-destructive cycle after learning that his childhood love and best friend is engaged. An old storyline that is given a completely fresh rewrite for this movie while avoiding the usual cliche ending. An especially lovely and endearing performance by his 11-year-old neighbor Sophie (India Ennenga) while helping Jack Frost (Behr), who has been living a Peter Pan lifestyle for 7 years complete with Tinkerbell, overcome the nostalgia and excess that may sink him. There were cultural and literary references, classic movie quotes that I loved, too. If that's not enough to pique your interest, then the opening sex romp scene with naked models should do it. Nothing offensive, just kind of joyful, playful. Loved the film.
