At Beach City Gril in Santa Cruz, California, the employees are 4 very close friends. Piper (Harnois) is an artist with a secret who is falling for single father Noah (Flannery); Tish (Harris) is a wild child at heart who's conquests number in the high double digits; Jen (DuVall) is a shy wallflower who has found possible companionship with a mysterious online buddy; and Priestly (Ackles) is the funky haired guy who dishes advice to everyone else. These 4 friends will find love in the most unexpected ways and places.
This is my favorite movie ever. Everything about it is perfect, from the cast, to the writing. Everyone who watches this can find a character to relate to. I can't figure out a reason why it took so long for this film to get released. I've shown it to many of my friends, and they all agree that it is a whole lot better than most of the crap that is released theatrically (see my review for Armored).
The movie has the right balance of funny, sweet, and dramatic. By the end, you will have run through every one of your emotions. I watch it on rainy days, or whenever I need a happy, pick me up cry.
10/10
While the film isn't rated, I'd say it would be a strong candidate for an R. There is infrequent strong language, 2 quite graphic sex scenes with full frontal nudity, and sexual references all around. (Like a scene where Piper and Tish teach Jen about "self satisfaction") 17+
The DVD includes a featurette on the music, a making of documentary, commentary, deleted scenes that could've easily been in the film, and the trailer. You can only get it at Blockbuter, but if you want to own it, it's quite cheap.
