This film is on the verge of being fantastic, but it never quite gets there.
It's not because of the cast, Why Nick Finck isn't a huge star is beyond me, he is amazing on camera and just feels like a natural. Overall, every cast member is stellar.
The film takes a little too long to get going, the first 30 minutes seem to drag. Then the story is revealed and the film gets interesting. The slow start is made even weirder by the ending, which seems quite abrupt and provides little closure to the story arc. With a bit more budget and some better writing, this would have been a 10/10 film. As it is, it is still very much with a watch.

ALMOST. A great film.
Stick with it: the story comes together beautifully
I nearly gave up on this film in the first half hour, but lead actor Nick Fink kept me interested. For a newcomer, he has immense chemistry with the camera and believable delivery.
The script is flawed in that it has natural humor, but has a sitcom smirk. The two go together like honey and motor oil. All of the bones are here for a spectacular TV series, if handled mindfully and steered away from gags.
The parallels with people in so many life situations who do not conform to expectations is right there. Examine the human experience in those varying situations and the scripts write themselves.
This was a valiant effort and there are some promising talents in the extensive cast.
Production note: this is a film where photos with the names in the end credits seem crucial.
It's not perfect.
It's not perfect: The script is a bit weak and there are dull moments but something made me stick around. I think it was mostly the lead and some of the other supporting actors who were impressive even for relatively unknown actors. I also really appreciated how the writer approached the concept. I was a bit weary that it was going to be an interesting idea fleshed out in an uninteresting way but it was interesting.
