Great movie--Title Sucks, Synopsis Sucks
I would have given this a 10 out of 10, but I took off a point for the terrible title. The title is so bad, that I almost didn't watch it. I'd seen it coming up in my 'you might also like' list over and over, I'd even added it to my 'to watch' list, but just never could get around the boring title (which tells me NOTHING of what the movie is about), and the synopsis (on Amazon Instant Video), which says something about it being set in Beaumont, TX. (I have to say, this fact alone was the ONLY reason I ended up giving it a try--I'm from Texas).
This movie is about facing your fears head on and stepping off that precipice into the great unknown. In other words, taking that chance, that risk of failing, but doing the thing you fear to do anyway. This is Jude Farney's (played by Wendy English) story of how she came to do just that. ****The title should give us a hint that this is what the movie is about--or at least the synopsis for crissakes!!***** The film does not have any lagging bits (as so many low budget Indies do). Everything that happens on screen moves the plot forward, there are no filler scenes of people walking down the street for a full 5 minutes, or driving in their car for same, while some crappy indie song plays in the background. I will admit, there is a 20-30 second scene at the beginning with her walking down the road, but it ends quickly, and grounds you in the location (as it was meant to do), without becoming filler.
This is what indie story telling should be, but too often isn't. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end. And in this case, quite satisfying. Definitely worth a couple of hours of your time.
This movie is free to stream on Amazon for Prime Members, and, I think is also available on Netflix.
I highly recommend this movie.
