This script truly depicts the state of academia today - education is, unfortunately, a business - but the human element interspersed throughout several subplots, the writer (and subsequently the actors who brought the characters to life) have delivered a completely believable rendering of people doing what people do best: searching for peace, failing, and persevering with the hopes that life will one day make sense and happiness will be attained.
Veteran actors William Sadler, John Cullum, and Glynnis O'Connor added depth and maturity to the film, while Miles Doleac (who also wore the hats of director and writer) created the pace and choreography to which the characters danced. Colin Cunningham's manic take on his character brought levity to the group (everyone NEEDS that one friend...), and Jillian Taylor, Leticia Jimenez, and Lindsay Anne Williams rounded out the group as superb, and strong, female characters.
I may be biased, as I am part of the academic community, and Hollywood rarely offers a true depiction of what that world is like. Doleac's film does this with aplomb. But, you don't have to be in academia to enjoy this film - not at all... just have been part of your own human experience.
