Review of 5 Hour Friends

This movie was filmed on a low budget, but you can't tell because the quality of the actors, cinematography, and directing. The writing is superb. I especially loved the outdoor golfing scenes - they really captured the beauty of San Diego. The transition that the lead character (Sizemore) makes over the course of the movie is fascinating - from somewhat of a dog to a man who makes good on his promises. The movie is an emotional journey for the viewers and has a feel-good ending that makes you glad you stuck through the ups and downs of the lead character. The female lead (Brown) is great at keeping the facade of being a normal person for the beginning of the film but eventually showing her true colors, and she has some great scenes where she really looses it and goes nuts. In the end, this movie is not only a love story but a story of human nature - the good, bad, and ugly. Top marks! Can't wait for another movie by this writer/producer!
