Cheryl Hines and Shelly herself co-star as Jenna’s friends and co-workers and they’re all quirky and good. However, the bright shining bit of casting in the movie lies with the owner of the diner, Old Joe. Andy Griffith. I can’t put into words how great it was seeing him in this movie. He’s a full blown supporting character, not just a day-player. And damn is he funny and sharp. He’s a bit crotchety and has an edge to him, which I didn’t expect when I saw his name pop up in the opening credits.

The flick is entertaining, tragic, but hopeful. It really swings from lightheartedness to some really dark material. It’s a good final movie and it’s a shame we, as movie-goers, won’t get to see more.
