Snippet of life

I thought this was a sweet film. It's not a big studio production and they didn't spend a lot of money on sets but I did enjoy it. The script was lacking and at times I could have used more of it.

The actors were really, really good. That Emily Kuroda was excellent as. Sunny. I think everyone knows a Sunny... Jenna was amazing, of course, and then there was, Robert Hunger-Buhler as Otto. Pretty sure we all know someone very similar to him. Then there's the kids... and quite a bit of life stuff that happens. I won't spoil it.

I did think the script could have been better and that the editing could have been tighter. I also think it could have been shorter. As I said, I enjoyed it. It's not big budget but you get to see some familiar faces and some fine acting.
