A 17 year old Goth teenager and a 49 year old clothes salesman develop a relationship. I fell asleep during the last half hour of this.
My type of movie - people (in this case a Goth chick and a dress salesman) listening to each other and growing emotionally.
When I rented this movie I wasn't sure what I would get. This turned out to be a pleasant surprise. A very touching story, nicely acted. Quite moving. Keep some hankies nearby, my guess is you will need them. Highly recommended.

caught the start of this on channel four last nite and stayed tuned, really nice film and had me breakin mi heart x
The decent and real selfless love and commitment of an older man transforms a neglected and rebellious teenager into a beautiful, loving young woman.
it's not a gross 'dateline catch a perv' sleazy movie...it's bout real friendship..as odd as it llooks..a teenage punk and a straight laced stiff form a sweeet bond.
