Yes i totally agree with you speedy m.
It managed to avoid cliche as well which is a trap it could easily have fallen into.

| I think I go into most movies expecting something to happen. You know, someone gets murdered, or kidnapped, or cheated on, or "THE PRESIDENTS DAUGHTER IS MISSING!", or something, but this movie... it's just a bit life. Here's some people, and they're dealing with very real things in their own very real ways, and they're not perfect, but not flawed for the sake of a good plot point. It's almost like reality tv in way, except the characters are interesting, intelligent, and have compassion for one another. I was worried it would succumb to cliche in the bar scene, but even that difficult scene was handled wonderfully. It certainly is a little gem. That movie made me want to hug people and love life. |

That sounds like Lost In Translation, but a lot of people here don't like that.

I think you're confusing yourself Homers - this is a GOOD film

I disliked lost in translation but the station agent is just a really nice inoffensive movie. Just nice.

i heard it was good.
how's that for a pointless, unhelpful, uninteresting addition to the conversation?

Well you heard right.
