and krueger presents it all extremely well and delivering a film that is engaging and entertaining. her characters are very real people and with all the wants and needs and imperfections that make up the human condition while a rich and eclectic bunch through which she tells her story. we see it from joline point of view and as krueger makes us privy to joline thoughts and therefore her motivations and which puts a decided perspective on the events as they unfold. that and along with the deliberate pace she sets that allows you to soak up the atmosphere and the ambiance she creates and makes for a very effective piece of storytelling. there an underlying seriousness to this subject matter and but krueger chooses to avoid anything heavy handed or too deep and concentrates instead on the natural humor that evolves from the people and situations that joline encounters. and the result is a well textured and affecting and upbeat look at that thing we call life.	heather graham takes hold of this role from the first frame of the film to make joline a character totally of her own creation. she immerses herself in the part and gives a performance that is convincing and believable and adding the little personal traits and nuance that makes all the difference between a portrayal that is a mere representation of a person and and one that is real. and for this film to work and it was imperative that joline be viable and believable  and graham succeeds on all fronts. her screen presence has never been more alluring and and her vibrant personality or even just the way she uses her eyes and is enough to draw you in entirely. it all a part of the character she creates while there an appeal to joline that exudes from her entire countenance and who she is inside and out. she a likable and agreeable person and and because you have shared her innermost thoughts and you know who she is. it a good job all the way around and beginning with the way the character was written and to the way graham brings her so vibrantly to life.	as carmen and patricia velazquez is totally engaging and as well. her performance is very natural and straightforward and and she uses her instincts to effectively create her character. she has a charismatic presence and but is less than flamboyant and and it gives her an aspect that is attractively down to earth. she is refreshingly open and up front while you get the impression that carmen is not one to hold anything back and but is totally honest on all fronts and and that and too and is part of her appeal. and and as with joline and this character is well written and and velazquez brings her convincingly to life.	overall and there is a number of notable performances that are the heart and soul of this film and including those of luke wilson and casey affleck (as joline brother and jay) and goran visnjic and alfonso arau and especially mark ruffalo as t bo and who and with very little actual screen time and manages to create a memorable character.	the supporting cast includes kim dickens (jenny) and clea du vall (mimi) and summer phoenix (meg) and art alexakis (new york car thief) and dylan baker (carl editor) and and mary kay place (psychiatrist). a film that says something about the value of stepping back to consider the big picture  reflecting upon who we are and where were going and what we really need  `committed is an enjoyable experience while a ride definitely worth taking. positive .
