Editorial Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle, February 18, 2001 – Mick Lasalle

"A little gem."


Product Description

Tyler (Casey Peterson) just made a big boo-boo. He cheated on his girlfriend Page (Jennifer Milmore) with a 19 year old stripper, and now he’s got to cover his tracks. But that’s easier said than done because this is NORTH BEACH.

Sure enough, no sooner does he stumble out of the stripper’s youth hostel than everyone knows exactly what he was up to… including Paige. Now the race is on in a raucous romp through the lives and libations of this San Francisco neighborhood as Tyler desperately tries to pull his social nuts out of the fire… And he’s only got a day to do it.

Gabrielle Anwar (SCENT OF A WOMAN), Richard Speight,Jr.(BAND OF BROTHERS), and Jim Hanna round out an ensemble cast that FILMCRITIC.COM says "works together like a well oiled machine."

5.0 out of 5 stars North Beach-- the never seen MUST SEE, August 30, 2004
This movie is HI-larious. I have been waiting for a DVD to come out once I heard that it might not get a full national release (I heard it had something to do with the physical film format, not content).

This is a real person's comedy. Excruciatingly funny, mostly because it doesn't try too hard to be so. That and Richard Speight, Jr. (who did a dramatic turn in "Band of Brothers") is brilliant here as (co) director and actor.

For anyone who has lived in an urban setting and understood the idea of 'people in the neighborhood," you'll get it. Also, if you've ever hooked up while drunk and hoped your girlfriend would never find out, yeah-- you'll get it too.

Oddly, this is one of the only modern San Francisco movies I can think of that doesn't feature the gratuitous gay character. But then again, that left me thinking: "They live in SF and don't have any gay friends? Not even the girls?" Then again, we hardly hang out in the same clubs late night, which sort of starts this roller-coaster.

I feel special that I only got to see this by chance at a local film festival. And I feel the film-makers and film-goers have been robbed. This would have been a hit in wide release, as it is so far removed from the lowest-common-denominator romantic-comedy scholck the major studios churn out, and so far above.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE!!, August 26, 2004
By Monica M. (Boulder, CO) - See all my reviews
I saw this at the San Francisco Film Festival a while back. A great story about the lifestyle of North Beach with a humorous story. The story takes place the morning after the protagonist cheats on his girlfriend. The protagonist, after doing his daily rounds of visiting local cafes, etc. quickly realizes that there is no such thing as a secret in North Beach. The sound on the DVD is great and the movie has a kick ass soundtrack with SF local bands like the Uninvited and Vinyl.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT MOVIE!, August 25, 2004
By Bern41 (Oakland, CA) - See all my reviews
I saw this at the Cinequest Film Festival a few years ago and have been waiting for it to come out on DVD. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is either young or young at heart. It's a little rough around the edges, with a lot of language, but if you can handle that it's a great little movie. The DVD is just as good as the film, serving up a variety of entertaining extras, like a hilarious director's commentary that's just as funny and irreverant as the film, a fantastic trailer, and the not-to-be missed "North Beach, the condensed version". A great home video find for any collection!
