I have to admit, I was going to pass this movie up on the basis that it was written, directed, and starring David Duchovney. I liked the X-Files, but Duchovney's acting skills are not impressive to me. But it had Robin Williams in it. And I have grown to trust Williams choice in movies. I know that Robin Williams does not accept a movie unless there is something special there. This movie is no exception. If you can suffer through David Duchovney's 'acting' then you're in for a treat. I am very picky about what movies I recommend to people. This may not be the best movie ever made, and I might be a little skewed because it's an original idea. This is a coming of age story. But unlike most coming of age movies, this one has so few the normal clichés'. Sure they are probably all there, but since they were disguised I probably just didn't recognize them. Obviously i'm not a professional movie critic. But I would say watch this one and ignore the fact that Duchovney's acting skills may not be Oscar worthy. The rest of the cast do an amazing job. And the story is interesting without being overly dramatic.
