AMAZON ERROR: There ARE DVDS in STOCK. DVD STILL ON SALE FOR $9.99. Like us on Facebook & send us a message if you have ordered a DVD off Amazon and have received a note stating there are none left in stock. OR go to Filmbaby.com to order the DVD for $9.99! "My Tale of Two Cities" is a funny and heartfelt movie that has been called a "Mr. Rogers & Me" as it tells the comeback story of "St. Elmo's Fire" screenwriter Carl Kurlander who moved back to the real-life "Mister Rogers Neighborhood" only to find both himself and his hometown of Pittsburgh in mid-life crisis. In an attempt to help his hometown while exploring with honesty and humor whether you can go home again, Kurlander asks his neighbors, from the famous (Steeler Franco Harris and Teresa Heinz Kerry) to his old gym teacher and the girl who inspired "St. Elmo's Fire", how this once great industrial giant which built America with its steel, conquered polio, and invented everything from aluminum to The Big Mac, can reinvent itself for a new age. With the rest of America wondering the same question about their neighborhoods these days, "My Tale of Two Cities" is a charming, engaging feel-good film that proves "it's never too late to come back!" and that the whole world really is "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood."

You don't have to be a Pittsburgher to appreciate the message behind "My Tale of Two Cities," the message of coming back. Whether this means coming back to your hometown, or your hometown coming back as a powerful player in the national and global economy, this story can apply to any person's, or city's, situation. It's an optimistic and encouraging film that lets you know it is never to late for a second chance. Enjoy a good laugh? Enjoy an inspiring tale? Enjoy walking around Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood?

This review is from: My Tale of Two Cities: A Comeback Story (DVD)

It is not so often that true stories become epic enough to twist into a movie plot. This film will captivate and take hold of you in new and interesting ways. It is great to see how amazing a city can be and what a big part it can play into someones life. This tale is a must see for all Yinzers and city slickers alike and it just goes to show you don't forget where you come from.

This review is from: My Tale of Two Cities: A Comeback Story (DVD)

Being a less-than-hopeful resident of Pittsburgh, the film really helped me to realize the connections that Pittsburgh truly has with the outside world, and how we can move past the set-in-our-ways, sports-loving, steel town of the past. Is the film an amazingly groundbreaking expose about the underbelly of Pittsburgh's entertainment industry? No. Is it an honest, promising, realistic and original account of what people want out of Pittsburgh? Yes, and that's where it succeeds.
