Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

jotix100 This little gem of a film was shown on cable. Since I don't think it ever had a commercial run, at least locally, it was a delight that came out of nowhere. Dan Cohen, working with his own material, has dome wonders with this buddy/road picture in which two different men with different mentalities and background, come together as they touch each other's lives in more ways than expected. If you haven't seen this film, please stop reading.Eddie Miller is an old salesman who loses his job after having a mild heart attack. The firm he has been working for years suddenly decide to fire him because he cannot be insured any more. Eddie is in a difficult position; his wife has died and left him with debts that he must repay. This is a decent man who has done honest work for his company and suddenly finds he must either stay for a few weeks training the new guy, who is going to inherit his job, or else, go into an unknown future, probably doing menial work.The new man, Bobby is a happy go lucky kind of guy who enjoys his time on the road as it gives him the opportunity to play around all over his territory with waitresses, bar maids, or other women who are willing to have a good time with a handsome fellow. The contrast between Eddie and Bobby is notorious. Eddie prefers to stay in the motel room and solve puzzles rather than go drinking with the apprentice. This is a story of contrasts between two different generations. What makes the film so endearing is the great work by the two principals. Robert Forster has been around, behind the stars for quite a while. He is a reliable character actor who is dependable, does his work well, but one never sees him in a lead role such as the one in here. Donnie Wahlberg, the new partner, is excellent in that he is just the opposite of the older man, but one can see the rapport between them. Donnie Wahlberg makes a magnificent contribution to the movie.Bess Armstrong, makes the most with the small role of Katie, the woman who meets Eddie in the worst possible circumstances, but immediately recognizes this man is honest and decent. Eddie is the answer to her prayers and hopes. The two have incredible charisma and ease in their scenes together. Also, in a small part, Jasmine Guy, who is the kind hearted Tina, the owner of the "house of leisure" where Bobby convinces Eddie in going. Ms. Guy does wonders with her small time in front of the camera.This is a film with an unpredictable ending. Director Cohen takes us into a wonderful road trip all over the state of Pennsylvania, and what a treat it turns out to be for those willing to embark in this adventure.

mcgribb1 This is one of those gems you happen on by accident and then wonder why you never heard of it. A stellar performance by Forester, and Donny Wahlberg is a real suprise.Notable name behind the camera is Rick Derby -- director and producer of Rocks With Wings -- one of the best documentaries to air on TV in 2002. Check it out, you won't be sorry.

movieman_kev Great film about Eddie (a superb Robert Forster) having to train young upstart, Eddie (Donnie Wahlberg) in the diamond selling biz. Their chemistry is superb. The dialog just crackles & it pulls you right into this film. Of course one knows where the film's headed way in advance, but that doesn't distract from the brilliant acting in this character study. I highly recommend it & i rarely hand out suck accolades easily.Where I saw It: ShowtimeMy Grade: AEye Candy: Both Kristen Minter as Cherry and Sannah Laumeister as Amber drop their tops (and at what may be a first Nikki Fritz as Fran leaves hers covered, heh go figure)

rkraus-2 Went into this movie not expecting much but came out very satisfied. Lots of cliches but all characters very well portrayed. Moves along well without slowing down. If you liked Robert Forster in "Jackie Brown", you'll like this movie.
