May 29, 2013 A sweet movie. It's about people's relationships and having a good heart. It has some funny characters and it's never too dramatic or too much of farce. It is as it should be. Gentle, kind and tender. David Thornton and Mirjana Karanovic put out great performances, the rest of the cast is charming. This is a good picture. See more Aug 18, 2012 I say this is brilliant. David Thornton must have lived his life up to this point just in preparation for the role. Watch it, then go right into "the making of". Makes you want to start life over as a filmmaker. See more Feb 9, 2012 Minimalistic, warm, excellent actors, great script, subtle humour, beautiful details... See more Sep 18, 2011 Quite an interesting film about a depressed, down and out, as well as broke American saxophonist from New York who goes to Belgrade, Serbia to marry his friend's girlfriend (for money of course) so that she can come to America to be with him. There is more to the movie than that but know its worth watching once, so check it out. See more Aug 28, 2011 Funny and charming. It is rare that I see a film with a character I really don't like and bit by bit come to love that person over the course of the film. Deftly drawn. See more Jul 19, 2011 David Thornton plays a depressed, middle-aged 52 year old NYC jazz musician Robert who suffers from what might be called a musical version of writer's block, facing eviction from his fed up girlfriend. He strikes an unexpected deal with Serbian emigrant Branko who will pay him $5,000 if Robert goes to Belgrade and marries Branko's girlfriend Ivana (Jelena Mrdja), so that she can get a visa and move to New York City but then Branko's van is stolen. Robert finds himself marooned - unpaid, luggage less, and wearing another man's mismatched sweat suit - in Belgrade. Things begin to look up when he meets Olga, Branko's mother, a lovely and gracious divorcée, with whom Robert stays who just so happens to be fluent in English. Olga's charm ignites a spark of life in the dour Robert. Will Branko be able to replace his van and pay Robert? Who will Robert choose to bring to the Big Apple, Ivana or Olga? A bit of trivia for you: The score's title track was written for the film by Cyndi Lauper, who has a cameo and is Thornton's real-life wife. <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=o6cfna" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.tinypic.com/o6cfna.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=10h92qu" target="_blank"><img src="http://i55.tinypic.com/10h92qu.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> See more Read all reviews
