[color=#000033][font=Book Antiqua]I received this movie in the mail this past week called; "Slipping Down on Life". I was really surprised by this movie because I wasn't sure what to expect. This movie was actually a decent movie. The cast was pretty good and so was the writing. The script could have been a little better but it was basically a good film. I got a feeling this was probable one of Guy Pearce?s first American films. There were some funny parts to this film as well as some dramatic parts. "Slipping Down on Life" is about this young woman who lives in a small town. She just lives day to day with out any real prospects. One evening a friend and this young woman go see a local band. The lead singer makes an imprint on this young woman's life. She becomes obsessed with this lead singer as well as a lot of women in that town. After carving the lead singer's last name into her forehead the young woman becomes the talk of the town. The lead singer goes to see the young woman in the hospital and starts to fall in love with her. The young woman decides to take on the task to help the musician with his career because she believes he has the talent to make it big even though he has no desire to go any where with his career. This film is also about miscommunication, relationship issues, small town trappings, and just general understanding of one another. The musician character isn't very likable but he grows on you. The DVD doesn't have any bonus features because this was a low budget film even though the cast was amazing. I would suggest this movie to any one. Please see what you think.[/font][/color][color=#000033][/color].
