Despite the emotional emptiness that the movie might leave you with, a great part of it is devotion to ambition, and I add it to my short list of inspiring films (Gattacca, The Shawshank Redemption, Bringing out the Dead).
The plot itself is funny and entertaining in many parts, mixed with heart wrenching scenes between Trevor, Arlene and Eugene. The acting is top notch (without a doubt in my mind) from all the actors, the casting is near-perfect. Even Jon Bon Jovi plays a pretty good street-person.
I recommend this movie to those who want something more than just a Hollywoodesque ending. The script is fairly polished, although there are some seemingly overdone dialogues which make Trevor unbelievable as a child at times. However, despite these minor flaws, the film proves itself to be extremely entertaining while carrying important messages.
As a film, its not the best I have seen, but it certainly is one that I came away with a lot more than I expected to.
