User Review

This is how an "indie" is made!

Rating: 7/10


Though I've spent much of my life enjoying and at times worshiping
Woody Allen I've never actually related to his film's characters. But I
did relate to the people in this film by Ed Burns. I enjoyed the drama
and laughed my ass off at the realities of it all. And the low budget,
shot on a shoestring, added to the charm.

The film has a simple premise, a newlywed couple spend a couple of days
of drama with the wacky in-laws and then must come to terms with their
own relationship and it's newly discovered quirks.

I love the in camera, documentary-style confessions of the characters.
It allows for added depth and contrast to what the audience sees. And
the performances are dead on. No wooden acting. Very fresh and real
dialog with a quick moving story.

The last Ed Burns' film I saw was She's The One, and then after seeing
Confidence I kinda lost track of him. I am glad I saw this film, just
to know that he's still doing quality stories. Now I gotta go back and
see what I've missed.

Highly recommended to those who miss the character and heart in the
current big budget crap coming out of Hollywood. Kudos to Ed Burns and
crew.
