    A likable film, not what the cover looks like. A claustraphobic woman is placed under house arrest for a crime she didn't commit. She has to find the guy who did.

    Shy San Franciscan Zoe is a twenty-something love-starved animator who spends countless hours listening to KXCH Cherish radio, losing herself in a syrupy romantic fantasy of '70s and '80s pop songs. Her mushy world is shattered, however, when a policman is hit and k...( read more)illed in a mysterious car accident, the assailant flees the scene and Zoe is unfairly left facing a vehicular homicide charge. While awaiting trial, Zoe is confined to house arrest, where she alternates falling in love with her frequent visitor and parole officer, Daly, and trying to prove her innocence to regain her life and freedom.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Feels aimless for much of its running time, until late in the film when a tidal wave of plot arrives, leaving questions in its wake. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

One of those American independent comedies that suffers from a serious case of the lonely-girl cutes. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Tunney has a plucky charm that works nicely here. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

At heart, it's about one thing, human longing, which it depicts with such unflinching understanding and compassion that it leaves audiences with an exalted feeling. full review
