Full Plot Details

A sassy parrot and a free-spirited librarian upend the well-ordered life of a solitary man. Lyman (Jackson Hurst) is a loner, working the graveyard shift for the Courtesy Patrol. Orphaned by a car wreck that killed his parents when he was four years old, he knows only his last name and approximate year of birth. When a green parrot flies in to his trailer and announces, 'Shut up!" and "I'm an eagle!" he becomes obsessed with finding its owner, which leads him to FIONA (Rachel Nichols). She has been eying Lyman from a distance and decides to help with his parrot search, whether he wants her to or not. Along with her basset hound, they set out on a quest to find the bird's previous owners and Fiona begins to unravel the mysteries of Lyman's past. But when Fiona joins Lyman on his nightly rounds, she witnesses a reality more intense than the romantic version she had envisioned. Ultimately, once Lyman is able to reconcile with is past, he is able to break free of his dark world and they prepare to begin a new life together.

Movie Reviews

Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatStory of a beautiful and talkative parrot who proves to be a miracle worker bringing two lonely souls together for a quest that changes them both.
Film-Forward.com - 8/10 by Nora Lee MandelA lovely little modern screwball comedy that only hard-hearted cynics will resist. An unexpected bonus comes with the delightful stream of old pro's as...master storytellers.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Gary GoldsteinMargaret Whitton strikes a pleasing balance between amusing and sensitive, largely eluding the potentially precious minefields in their way.
Movie Metropolis - 6/10 by James PlathUnfortunately, the film itself never quite feeds off the quirkiness or the energy, and so it remains a pleasant but not a profound film.
Slant Magazine - 4/10 by Andrew SchenkerNaturally, given the film's somewhat precious air of spiritualism, the parroted phrase that speaks most clearly to Lyman is a quotation from the book of Ecclesiastes that gives the film its title and gives Fiona a chance to offer a blithely optimistic interpretation of that most dour of Biblical books.
Variety - 4/10 by Ronnie ScheibUnable to establish a consistent tone, picture goes derivatively screwball one minute and stickily sentimental the next.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Mark HolcombThe cast detracts, too: Fiona, a flighty loner in the book, is a grating twit in Nichols's hands, and Hurst, while likeable, is flat and too hunky. The bird's got more charisma, which in a better movie would've been the point.
New York Times - 4/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisMs. Nichols is consistently appealing in the kind of role Zooey Deschanel has pretty much cornered, and Philippe Rousselot's nighttime shots of highway tragedy are dreamily atmospheric. If only Roger Towne's screenplay had focused less on the metaphysical import of Lyman's savior impulses and more on the physical rewards of his salvaged life.
New York Post - 3/10 by Sara StewartAt its most entertaining when the parrot does the talking.
Film Journal International - 3/10 by David NohQuirky screwball romance has many original points of interest, but is marred by fatal miscasting of a lead.
