The night of Scott and Kristen’s wedding, in
Phoenix, the best man Lumpy, a loud fellow known for his excesses in the
partying department, suddenly dies. The newlyweds cancel their honeymoon and
travel back to their home state of Minnesota to plan the funeral and to inform
Lumpy’s friends and loved ones. On their trip, they meet Ramsey Anderson, a
teenage girl with a complex family situation that the deceased had befriended a
short while back. Through the eyes of this young girl, Scott and Kristen get a
glimpse of another side of their departed friend’s personality and life.
While short and lacking in real action, this
film is absolutely charming. It has been blasted by critics, but I, for one,
loved it. I love it when a character you first see as one dimensional is
fleshed out like that through flashbacks and various developments.
The acting is pretty good here. Young Addison
Timlin is particularly touching as Ramsey Anderson.
I highly recommend this sweet little ditty.
Give it a shot; if you don’t like it, at least, at 89 minutes, it will not take
much of your time.
