7 days

while this movie does feel a TAD too long, the over all feel of the film is great. you leave this film having laughed a little and shed a tear or two. the plot is well crafted and believeable, and you care about the 2 main characters. some of the best chemistry is between the main kid claudio and tony, the son of the mafia hitman who gives claudio 7 days to pay back the $500,000 he owes. at the end of the film, you feel like both characters had helped the other grow up a little and gain a better world view. my friend and i both got free passes to this film and we didn't really know if we wanted to go see it... we went into it thinking it was gonna suck, but we were both VERY pleasantly surprized! give it a chance... you may be too! :)
4 out of 5 stars!
