I saw this film at the 2006 Palm Springs International Film Festival and of the 35 films I saw there this made the final spot in my top 10. I went to this film not really knowing what to expect from it and was it was not long into the movie where it grabbed my attention and I could see I was going to like it. This is an interesting and entertaining film. This is not a big film but it is a smart film with a very simple plot involving a very simple country bumpkin who works in the big city and is desperately trying to receive public recognition for a good Samaritan role he claims to have been in rescuing a young sophisticated college girl from an attack. Soon a newspaper reporter and the paper's editor, the girl herself and her friends and the man's father and his village are all part of the story. I would rate this a 7.5 of a possible 10 and recommend it.
