Some may or may not know that actor Edward Burns is also a writer and director, which brings us to this film that he wrote, directed and acts in.Burns presents an unassuming, coming-of-age script about an average New Yorker, Johnny, with a dream of being a sportscaster. Burns plays the womanising, free-spirited uncle of Johnny, who takes him away for the weekend before he’s about to get married. While on the surface it seems uncle Terry is just looking to stir the proverbial kak, we realise that it is perhaps his insight into his nephew that has inspired his meddlesome actions. Johnny is subsequently forced to re-evaluate the big decisions he’s about to make.
A low-budget, honest flick, it’s not going to win any prizes, but you won’t hate watching it either.
Rating: 3 outta 5.
