I enjoyed this sensitive indy film about suburban NYC class, culture and race conflict much more than I thought I would, as its underlying goodness of heart won me over by the end. It freshly and uniquely tells the well-used old story that dreams can come true if you believe in them and yourself enough, work long and hard enough, and let the ignorant things go that are holding you back from success.
It showed that most people turn out pretty much the same if raised the same but can change for the better if they want to bad enough and are pained enough by their old life, and can end up caring about loyalty, love, and family just about the same as everyone else can with the best of intentions, even if they didn't know it at first.
Not just a terrific film, but a good morality story for us all.
