This movie cost me less than two-dollars so I knew it would be one that I pop in the player, pop out, and file with my other movies. This has to be one of the best films yet. It is reality. Struggling actors, screenwriters, singers etc., all working in a Restaurant. The closeness of the workers jumps out to make you familiar. True to life, it shows bigotry from the boss, friendship, inter-racial love, jealousy, alcoholics, drug users, hay rollers, and a bit of hatred. You will still consider this film a great one because the good out-weighs the bad. When one of the friends who is loved, is murdered, it brings tension and hurt that results in racial slurs. This seems to shock some because the one who says it has had two known black girl-friends. However shocking, the crew knows the guy is just hurt and shocked about what just happened to his best friend. This same guy is a play writer who has hatred for another worker (an actor), that slept with his ex-girlfriend. He finds out the actor was given the lead in his play when he was too drunk or hung over to attend the auditions. The second tear jerking scene is when the screenwriter compliments the actor for a job well done just before the actor head out to play a part in a soap opera. It is a shame this movie has not gotten the publicity it deserves. Two thumbs up for all involved in making this film, and the ones who provided the space to let others know it exist.
