Summary: "F... your family, and f... your dog!"
Comment: A story on the sad state of self-absorption that parents, as humans, can fall victim to, and the devastating, isolating effects this has on their children, and their marriage. Adam Horovitz and Donald Sutherland both turn in fine performances. The music by Toni Childs has become one of my favorite inspirational songs. A bit of dialogue captures the emptiness that runs deep through the soul of these characters, as Timmy is heard narrating: "They had this movie in history class, all about the first moon landing. When they took off for home, they left this tripod behind 'cause they didn't need it anymore. You saw the capsule lift off, and then this tripod just sitting there...all alone on the moon. I guess it's just gonna stay there forever and ever." This is a very underrated film, an excellent character study and teen drama that may be too serious and dark for some mainstream viewers. Parents of teenagers could benefit a lot from watching this story of forgiveness and redemption. NEEDS TO BE RELEASED ON DVD!

Summary: One of my favorite films, very under-rated
Comment: This film has a great story to tell, I recommend it for all ages.

The main character of the film is born in a world of fractured families, with parents who are, if they are still around, obsessively materialistic and otherwise almost completely self-absorbed in their own pursuits. For the parents in Tim's world, children are just another possession to be mindlessly acquired and shown off like a fine automobile or new dining room set, good to show off to friends but disposable should they become too embarassing or troublesome. The best of these parents have only a glimmer of their true responsibilities as parents, and even less of the emotional or temporal means needed to fulfil them. Born in a world where they have no trusted adults to guide them, where they feel so abandoned that they are 'Dead at Birth', the kids soon come to believe that they can only trust each other. In this world, the fortunate learn the truth before the illusions they embrace to survive kill them or cripple them for life. Hopefully all of us can relate to Tim's first steps on the journey to self-realization.

Summary: TIM AND SUREL!!!!!
Comment: Like OMG, this movie is so awesome. Especially that part where Tim puts bread crumbs in his beard and dances around while Surel acts like her bones are made of rubber. TIm's laugh is so funny. Ti'ms one good fighter. He's got experience. I bet him and The Wall would make a great match. "Are you Tim? " "Watch what ya say?" I had to fast forward throught that one part though. ::heavy breathing and high pitched giggles:: Whale, I hope you enjoy this movie. And if you ever need help call the Timminator. "Loves never rosey" -Tim
