This film marks the directorial debut of Duncan Tucker with an unusual tale. Tucker brings together a group of talented cast and draws very good performance out of them. The characters grow with the story and make it an enjoyable experience for the viewers. Felicity Huffman as Stanley and Bree presents a great performance. She handles the challenging role with good care. She practically carries the film. The rest of the cast also put up a good performance.

The film has a serious adult theme. Also it has nudity, sexual content, bad language as well as drug use. But it has many heartfelt moments and comical plots. As an entertainer it is not bad.
