I recently had the chance to watch Sam and Janet while on business in New York. I have to tell you that my two co-workers and I were amazed! We have never been touched by a movie like this. I think part of it was, because we had no expectations. We just went to the theater to find a good movie and somehow ended up seeing Sam and Janet. We all walked out of the theater crying. It was the best release after such a long weekend of hustle and work. We were laughing because we were all crying. Had we known anything about it we might not have been so affected, but the movie was simple incredible. I asked about it once in the lobby. We were told it was the winner of best screenplay at the festival where we saw it. (New York International Indie Film Fest.) I can see why. It was so simple, yet very deep and complex. That's hard to do. I like the fact that there weren't any movie stars in it! Except for Gary Busey that is. Even HIS part in the movie was different. He just plays a bartender who's nice guy and a good listener. This movie was a quiet little sparkle. The guy who plays Parker is too funny. The main girl, Jennifer Ferguson who plays Janet is simple amazing. And the main male, Ryan Brown who plays Sam is so nice to look at. Their acting is so 'not acting' that you feel like you're really following the lives of two real people. I hope you get the chance to see this great, simple, relationship movie. I think about it, quote it to my girlfriends and wish I could see it again. You will too. Especially women! Thanks to Rick Walker for a well written and well directed film. The three of us that went, can't tell you how great and touching the experience was!
