You know, it must be a nice to be a character in an independent film; even when you’re faced with major existential and relationship crises, they seem to be easily solved by trite monologues, acoustic guitar riffs, and staring off into the sunset for a long enough duration of time.

Granted, Dakota Skye hasn’t become quite the thorn in my paw that the other mentioned films have been, but I suspect that’s due only to those films' complete omnipresence during the years of their release. In fact, I’m sure of it.
