After watching the trailer for this movie it gives the sense of a film that changes its tone in a very drastic way. A drama of sorts. Big familys, relations and plot twists. Though toward the end of the movie it seems to become much darker. Hidden motives and something more. The feel of a thriller in the end.
Though its just a trailer, still looks pretty good.
Anyone get this feeling from the film?
You've got it pegged pretty good. It is hard to describe. It's something like a dramatic comedy at first but turns dark and ends up as more of a comedic drama, I suppose. And, yes, there is a mystery/thriller in there to boot. It's a coming-of-age tale most of all, I think.
It's a complex, rich character piece around an amazing story. See my review on the User Comments page -- I tried to delve it into a bit.

The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.
It does have that feel to it. The trailer does seem to compliment it nicely.
shareI saw it at the Tribeca Film Festival in April '05 and it was an excellent movie! I highly recommend to anyone who can appreciate a fine film. Diane Lane was of course the best part, amazing acting. Everything about it was awesome! Tell everyone you know to go see it, it deserves a lot more recognition than it has gotten thus far.
