Summary From IMDB: Piper moves to Santa Cruz to go to the Institute of Art. When she was 15 she gave birth to a daughter, but she had to put her out for adoption because she was so young. Then she sees an article of a girl she thinks is her daughter, who lives in Santa Cruz and applies for a job in a sandwich bar. When she starts working she gets to know the staff. Tish is a babe, she tries to seduce every guy who comes into the bar, and she goes home with those who flirt back. Then there's Jen, a computer nerd who has a love affair online with a guy who calls himself fuzzy22. She's not as pretty as Tish and she struggles with her own self-confidence. And of course there's this crazy haired guy called Priestly, he's no like other guys and dresses different then everyone because he refuses to be another clone. Her boss is a really nice guy called Trucker, whose in love with the woman who own the store across the street. We get to go through everyone's personal struggles as they help each other through it.

My Thoughts: This film is definitely one for the girls. Its easy to relate to and great film to watch. Its guaranteed that the characters will be the type of people you can either relate to, or relate on of your friends too. A touching story of the ups and downs of friendships and relationships. Through witty writing and hidden jokes Morris attacks all those painful problems as a teenager and adult.  Confidence especially with Jen and Fuzzy22. Its light humour makes

The growing relationship between Jen and Fuzzy22 is absolutely fantastic. They have to be one my favorite couples of all time. There is so much emotion in it that i can relate to that it just perfect. I live vicariously through them. They are the picture of true love.

Preistly <3 he is amazing, jensen ackles plays him even better than i could have imagined when reading the script. He has immense comic timing, and just his facial expressions could make you laugh.

This is a small budget film, shot in 3 weeks, but wasnt shown in cinema, it is on that i feel need to make people aware of as it is a piece of art. The trailer and reviews really dont do it just, a must see!

My Rating: * * * * *
