this is a wonderful movie. it funny and dark and poignant and thought provoking and innocently naughty and generally entertaining all around. i do not know that i have seen the like before. the rapture and or maybe one of todd solondz black as night comedies or even the recent movie teeth come to mind. but those are all bitter and nasty little gems. franklins and despite the darkness around the edges and manages to have a thoroughly sincere and pure heart. the story is similar to john waters low down dirty shame and only this film differs in that it actually has a story and and something to say as well and beyond waters juvenile sex isn not dirty (snicker and nudge nudge) message. a conservative and repressed family undergoes a drastic change as a result of a car accident and suddenly aren not so conservative anymore. in fact and theyre finally actually happy and probably the only people in their town (or maybe the entire world) who are. to talk about why this is the case would be to spoil the film while simply put and everyone should see it and though of course only people who are already sold on what the movie upbeat and hopeful philosophy is ever would. the acting is great just this side of realistic enough to keep the proceedings from getting too heavy. teresa willis gives an especially memorable and brave performance as an uptight mother who emerges like a butterfly when she freed up. both she and robertson dean deserve kudos for their unflinchingly sincere performances (not to mention frequent and extensive nudity and sex scenes) while they turn what could have been a salacious joke involving a deviant sex practice into a touching and believable and endearing moment. aviva as the daughter is a standout and someone to watch and perfectly capturing the attitude and angst and speech patterns of a girl her age. vince pavia as the himbo brother with a secret is good looking and functional although his storyline and how everyone reacts to it is more rewarding than his actual acting. mari blackwell as the conflicted best friend to mother franklin is wonderfully cold and confused and even compassionate in a role that could have gone over the top. technically the film looks fantastic and all bright colors and wide open locales. it looks like it may have been shot hi def. if so and the line has gotten very thin and it looks very much like film. there is a great deal of talking and a lot of it philosophical and which gets a bit preachy (moreso and i would imagine to a viewer who disagrees with the film politics) and but this film says a lot of things that need saying. if only people do not be afraid to listen and think. the arguments that take place are smart and well thought out and first and foremost refusing to demonize either the religious or non religious parties. the ending is on the ambiguous side and which i found a bit of a disappointment somehow. i think it would have worked better had the author (as jay floyd is and since he produced and wrote and directed) given a more workable denouement and some sort of solution and but then again and there probably isn not one when it comes to pitting people with different faiths against one another. all the same and it was a moving and memorable final image that left me choked up a success. meanwhile and i am awfully glad mr. floyd got this film made and look forward to sharing it with as many people as possible. check it out.
