This movie was much better then expected. It tells the story of a man named Tyler who has an estranged relationship with his father after his brother committed suicide but still seems close to his little sister and mother. He seems to live a kind of care free life with his roommate while going to college. One evening he breaks up a fight and when the cops get there he decides to mouth off and ends up getting arrested and hit in the face hard by the cop. His roommate finds out the cops daughter, who faced a child hood tragedy herself, goes to the same school and decides to woo her. They become really close throughout the movie as she has an encounter with her father which forces her to move out. It seems like a run of the mill love story but it is not. The Tyler character is very complex and is an interesting story to watch particularly with the scenes with his father. The movie has quite a twist ending though if you pay close attention you should kind of see it coming. The movie clearly states it takes place in 2001 as per the beginning when it starts in 1991 and says 10 years later. It also takes place in most of the summer though it is not clearly stated in the movie. Then when the sister goes back to school you can assume it's September. The 9/11 ending was a very risky way to end the movie and i can see it upsetting many people. I was very surprised this is how the movie ended but you could tell something was up with the tone of movie in the final minutes and when you see Tyler go in the World Trade Centre you could kind of tell this was September 11th. A very interesting way to end it nonetheless. I guess the filmmakers were kind of showing that anything can happen in life and that you need to spend time with your loved ones as much as possible as anything can happen at any time.
