Review of A Buddy Story (2010) by Patrick W — 11 Sep 2013
I saw this at a film festival and loved it! It's a sweet movie with a realistic view of all kinds of relationships, not just romantic ones, and the difficult choices people have to make in pursuit of their dreams.
Gavin Bellour is charming and convincing as a struggling singer-songwriter on his personal journey to success, and the fetching Elisabeth Moss is completely believable as a dressed-down, damaged girl next door who is on her own journey.
It was a pleasant surprise to see reggae rock-star Matisyahu in the film, and he really does a fine job. Who knew he could act?Other recognizable faces include Lee Garlington from some of the Psycho films, Tim Guinee from Marvel's Iron Man series, and comedienne/activist Annabelle Gurwitch, too.
..all of them do a great jobAs soon as the end credits finished, my wife and I immediately wanted to go out and buy the soundtrack. The music alone is worth the price of admission.
