I just loved this movie! Of course, I wish the ending was a bit more indulgent, but ultimately I am glad it did not cop out. Tim Blake Nelson was just superb. What an enjoyable film!
Plot Outline: 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 killed 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.
A surprising movie that I did not expect much from. The actors are great in this film even Jason Priestly. I love the humor and the dark moments very much. The soundtrack rules too.
odd, but very cute with a great 80's soundtrack. robin tunney sometimes annoys me, but i liked her in this. it also stars tim blake nelson, who i?m starting to like.
an amazingly fun film about love, death, and house arrest. robin tunney and tim blake nelson deliver a wonderful performance as the two main characters as well as a small performance by indie rock sensation liz phair. this film also packs an awesome soundtrack that fits the film to a tee.
What a peculiar movie. Something about it was just...I don't know, offbeat? It has a very simple premise, but there is more to it in the acting. Great chemistry between Tunnye and Nelson. Oh, and awesome soundtrack!
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.
