While not a particularly exciting film this is a very real and human film which differs greatly from the usual 'American Pride' stereotyping of most 9/11 related films. Michael Urie plays a believable and likeable lead character which shows the strengths of his acting talents. Orginally a stage play, I can see that the story may have worked better in this genre, but it is still a nice, artfully made movie worth a watch if you are in the mood for a simple, character led film which addresses issues we al know about but probably not from the perspectives of those involved in varying ways.
