This movie is neither here nor there. Parts of it are so preposterous that I wondered why wasn't billed as a comedy. Some of the scenes were Comedic, and had to have been intended as such (or the writers were really (really really) bad. Yet comedy does not fit with the plot Unless the whole film is a parody, which it is not. Had it been billed as a comedy its script would have generated a higher rating. Nothing Could make the lead actors look better, funny or not. The friend (Rachel Palleschi) and the lawyer (name??) were actually pretty good In their roles. It's too bad that along with poor acting they were dragged down by a bad script.
This is a great independent film! I really enjoyed the quirky and funny storyline and characters.<br/><br/>Apart from the known actors like McCormick (Marsha Brady on The Brady Bunch) and Atkins and the known actor/director Steven Furst the relatively unknown cast of actors do an excellent job as well! The production quality is well done, the music is good and well timed to the picture. Even the side characters are delightful to watch and I think you do get a feel of Massachusetts from the characters, scenery and the great authentic Boston accents!!! A very well done; funny film; with a mystery!
