| User ReviewDarin STouching, sweet, and funny film adaptation of a Kurt Vonnegut short story. |
| User ReviewHannah MI remember seeing this played in one of my college classes when I was a teenager. We never got to see the rest of it, but I was so intrigued by the story and characters, that years later, I looked it up on Netflix and finished watching it. What a fun and cute romance! It makes love seem available to even the oddest of us. |
| User ReviewValerie MTwo people who are both incredably emotionally repressed use the mechanism of being someone else in a play to learn to relate to each other. Well done, you will enjoy this. |
| User ReviewLarry WGreat small-town story, extraordinary performances from Walken and Sarandon. |
| User ReviewLinda Kshort/feature. I think this is my favorite Vonnegut short story - and for me the chemistry between Walken and Sarandon is what puts this piece over the top. There's something inherently nostalgic about it, yet the performances are still vibrant and fresh to me. I really like this one a lot. |

| User ReviewScott FAnother favorite "quiet film" of mine, this stars a young Susan Sarandon and Christopher Walken. Based on a short story written by Kurt Vonnegut. |
| User ReviewMatt RChristopher Walken has always scared me, but this movie is pretty cute. It's a nice length, less than an hour, and it's got a nice storyline, for a short. There are some discrepancies in filming, but it's very low budget anyway. |
| User ReviewCody CWalke and Sarandon and Ridgely are all really good. Worth seeing it for them. The pace is a little weird cause it's so short. But there are some very cute moments. Worth checking out. |
| User ReviewJenna IThe trinity- Vonnegut, Demme, AND Walken! Clever story, and great performance by Walken especially. Overall charming film. |
