I thought that this film was pretty damn good. Especially given the fact it was done with practically no budget over the course of 4 years. The story was told well and gave personality to the main characters. Visually it was well shot and cut. The acting was pretty good for this type of film(pure indie). The high point for me was the music. I am a fan of musicals, and this one, musically at least, was better than several put out by Hollywood in recent memory. Some of the numbers could be heard on the radio today. I find myself still singing some of the songs, long after i've seen it. All in all, a well done film! To me it could be a bench mark for the low budget/guerrilla filmmaker.
