I thought, for sure, it was all about Nadia...his true love.

I just finished watching this movie for the first time and immediately went to googling, haha. Is it weird that a part of me wanted it to be real? Then again, I'd feel awful if it was. I really enjoyed it. I thought the script did a good job at pointing out just how hurtful and dumb we can be when our emotions are on the line. Love is tricky business, and unfortunately people often exaggerate the trivial and ignore the significant. This movie is a good reminder to avoid such behavior, and to truly appreciate (and TELL those you love that you do in fact love and appreciate them) those in your life who have your heart in the palms of their hands.

Incredibly deep movie seeping with a cold and melancholy realism. Brilliant all the way to the end. I can't say enough about this movie -- it has everything from comedy, romance, intricate plot twists, and a subtle, foreboding irony wrapped in the big message of this fantastic movie.

I really enjoyed this film but no wonder Grace didn't call back! Geezzz...Michael never shared his feelings with her...just kept hoping he would! Depressingly real with some humor. So can anyone help me find the name of the artist and song at the end of the film? I loved it. Thanks

Anyone know about the song that played at the end of this great film??

"The Way Things Are Supposed to Be" by Bob Schneider, a great Austin-based musician. A different version of this song appears on his album "I'm Good Now". He created and performed all the music in the film.
