Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

I saw this film over a year ago and loved it and wanted to show my support. I find it interesting that another reviewer(did you actually see the movie) took the time to research every reviewer for this movie in particular. You have something against the filmmaker or have nothing better to do with your time than bash and criticize.I happen to be a HUGE Ronnie Marmo fan, saw the play, and loved the movie. I hope that meets with the approval of this reviewer. I don't know what else to say except I adored the film and the actors. God forbid someone actually like Ronnie and the rest of the cast. The horror of it. Perhaps the reviewer should spend their time reviewing films they really watch versus spending time criticizing what they know nothing about.

I had the opportunity to catch a screening of WoB and wow, Ronnie was fantastic. Hopefully it will get distributed or available to an audience soon. I think people will absolutely love the film. It has comedy, warmth, heart, friendship, great dialogue, and some great actors including the always fabulous Joe Mantegna. I thought the actress who played Matty, Natalia Livingston, was very sweet and gorgeous, although I'd never seen her in anything before, she and Sebi/Ronnie made a great team. I last saw Ronnie in his one man Lenny Bruce show and he was terrific. This movie just continues to showcase how talented he is. Loved the film and good luck to all involved.

I went to the premiere and the movie was awesome. Ronnie is terrific and he produced and wrote a great film. Natalia , who happens to be a favorite of mine and is the reason I attended, was great. Natalia played "Matty" effortlessly. I have to say the rest of the cast was also wonderful, Ronnie in particular. This guy is a great talent and why Hollywood has not picked up on this I cannot imagine. I have to say I laughed at this movie and cried real tears believe it or not. I absolutely fell in love with each and every character in the film. We had a chance to speak with Ronnie Marmo(I am sure he does not remember us)- The writer and producer. He seemed excited about the film and really happy with it. Ronnie if we did not tell you, GREAT GREAT GREAT job. You are a tremendous talent and a real person, not plastic and fake like many in Hollywood. I hope this is the start to great things for you.Natalia was not there the night we went, but I understand she was at some other screenings. Natty if you are reading this, we love you and great job.

I was visiting a friend in Los Angelas a couple of weeks back. She somehow was able to get tickets for the premiere of this film. I for one like independent films so I was excited about going. Needless to say I was not disappointed. This was a wonderful heartwarming, funny, and sad film. The dialogue was great and the acting even better. I have been a fan of Joe Mantegna's for years and never realized he was appearing in this film, but I have to say all of the characters and acting were top notch and the story very sweet. I can't wait for this film to be more widely distributed. I hope it catches on so that the audiences can see what I saw in this film. Congratulations to all the of players in this film for making it an enjoyable evening for me.
