Probably one of the best indies I've seen in a long time.
The film is a two-story structured screwball comedy that is so cleverly executed, it's hard to believe this film went unnoticed until it came to USA Networks in 2000. From what I understand it was the highest watched film on the network in that year.
The performances are solid. Particular standout performances include Pam Grier as the doting mother; John Witherspoon, of course, as the cynical neighbor, and Duane Martin as the jaded ball player with a past.
I was particularly struck at how the film grabs you from the beginning and holds on to you until the end.
Not many films, except Groundhog Day and other classics, can boast this.
