Some guys who went to the same film school as me made this movie, not far from St. Louis, with John Heard (first-billed, but in a supporting role), America Ferrara (right before her big break-out in Ugly Betty), Laurie Metcalf, and Raymond J. Barry. It gives Barry and Heard in particular an opportunity to shine. They’re two of the best working character actors, and I really enjoyed seeing them tear into something that lasts more than just a few minutes (Heard has a bit part in The Great Debaters).
