Waitress Claudia stagnates in a relationship with her faithful but ho-hum boyfriend (Sayreville, N.J., native-turned-rock-star-turned-actor Bon Jovi), only to be jolted out of her rut by the return of her ex, Charlie (Burns).

Reviews for No Looking Back
A minor moody character study, Burns' third film is a misguided foray into the woman's picture, only partially evoking the dead-end-small-town life of a working-class waitress (Lauren Holly, Burns' girlfriend)
It is only natural that Burns would want to turn his attentions to something more serious. He should stick to comedy.
Despite its thinness, No Looking Back is a step forward for Burns. Let's hope he takes the title to heart.
Explores the ways relationships can serve as spurs to personal growth and transfomation.
