Why did this film not play here?????? I read about it a while ago, and thought it would have a slightly later release. But now, I see it was already released in JANUARY of this year???

I hate when films get pitiful releases. Not even Chicago......insane.

It came and went quickly. I am still shocked that it didn't receive a wider release with a distributor. It was a wonderful film and there is certainly an audience for it.

I agree. With the proper marketing and release schedule, this film could have found a small niche audience. It probably would have never become a 'hit,' but it could have found enough of an audience to turn a profit, especially for a major studio whose only costs would have stemmed from promotion and distribution.
