I can't help it.
Whenever a movie is set in New York City, I feel like I have to watch it.
It's nostalgia! It reminds me of a previous life...an occasional feeling of home.
Marisa Tomei and Vincent D'Onofrio are both wonderful "character" actors. In this one, Vincent was definitely a "character."
Here is a brief summary from IMDb:
"Ruby Weaver has man trouble: she tries to fix them, so she's stuck herself with a string of losers. Her current lover, Sam Deed, seems different: he's sweet, tender, just in from Dubuque. But, as Ruby tells her therapist about Sam, in flashbacks we see someone not quite of this world. In fact, Sam informs Ruby that he's from the future, 2470 to be exact, traveling back in time to avoid prosecution for his sister's death, and to find Ruby, whose photo he saw back home. Ruby's sure he's delusional, but most of the time she wants to keep him - and maybe fix him. Although he seems sane, maybe Sam hasn't told her the real story: what's he up to, and who is Chrystie Delancey? Written by<jhailey@hotmail.com>"
I couldn't help but to chuckle with the scenes from the therapist's office. Cracks me up every time the media portrays a psychotherapist at work. Back to the movie. It's an independent film with a little bit of everything. Romance, sci-fi, (supposed) comedy. It's not like ha ha funny, but many funny relational interactions.
I have to say that it was a "Happy Accident" for me to stumble upon this movie. Enjoy!
