CGiii Comment

With a $5,000 budget - Young has done what few have managed to do - to produce a watchable film on a very, very tight budget.

And....that's it for the compliments - the dialogue is overly wordy and stale - as are most of the performances.

Choose your field - either directing or writing - it's fairly obvious that you can't do both.

Not as good as Parallel Sons and not as bad as Rivers Run Over Me...

The(ir) Blurb...

The complex relationship between a wealthy French woman and her best friend a, gay black American, is thrown into turmoil when her estranged daughter comes to visit them with her new husband for the weekend in upstate New York. Through a series of drunken evenings and daytime squabbles it becomes apparent that no one involved is what they seem.
