    I really think it is a movie with a great message that it takes a better person to walk away from a fight than to have freinds.

    This was one of the best movies I have ever watched! It has some funny parts to it, and it has a good message.

    The picture is nearly stolen, however, by co-star Greg Germann (of TV's Ally McBeal) in the role of Joe's company's resident corporate weasel. Germann's squinty-eyed insincerity is truly a marvel to behold, and it's an astringent corrective to the film's rather too frequent feel-good passages.

    Wasn't worth Allen's time and isn't worth yours.

    For all the story's bland familiarity, it has winning moments. Allen's no actor, but he projects a likeable personality.
