In this lighthearted throwback to 1960s beach movies, a genial bartender needs the help of his devoted friends (and a bit of supernatural assistance) to save the family business from his avaricious partner intent on selling out to a corporate coffeehouse chain.

Good stuff....

I've seen a lot of crap.

As an aspiring amateur filmmaker I've watched a lot of other independent movies, mainly horror, as well as some comedies, and I've come to a not so startling realization... most low budget independent movies suck... and the suck hard (Bone Setter anybody? Maybe Scarecrow Slayer?).

Having said that, I was definitely apprehensive going into this movie. David Dellecese, the director of the film, went to college where I am going to college, and screened this movie there this past winter. Like I said, I was very apprehensive, but went to see this because I like supporting local independent cinema. I was very pleasantly surprised. This film made me laugh more than a lot of Hollywood comedies have done in the past five years. It was a wonderful film, full of great characters and a great story. The production quality is the film's only downfall. I, like a lot of people, don't like the look of video, but I don't hold this against the director. It's obviously cheaper to shoot on video than on film. The only other gripe I had was there was some audio issues, mainly toward the beginning of the film, where it was difficult to hear or understand what characters were saying. Again, this is just a result of low budget.

I think the reason that I liked and appreciated this movie so much is because of my understanding of the difficulties of low-budget film-making from first hand experience. For the budget that was used, you can't get much better than this product.

Overall, I will be buying this film when it is released, and David Dellecese is a wonderful filmmaker. Give this guy some money and you'll have some great cinema...

Watch this film.
