Joel, a writer; Bloss, a bigoted biker; and Ray, a boastful, embittered black man come from vastly differing backgrounds but find a common ground in their attempt to come to terms with their lives as a paraplegics. Much of their trauma centers around the loss of their sexuality -- particularly for Joel, who was in the midst of an affair with a married woman when he was injured. Now the uncertainty of Joel and his girlfriend's future together is compounded by the fact that Joel has to re-learn, physically and emotionally, how to have a sexual relationship. [More]

What's most striking about the film is its meticulous attention to detai, authenticity, and tight focus: This is the story of 3 ordinary guys, not war heroes, who happen to be in wheel chairs; Jimenez based the script on his personal experience. Full Review |

A film of stellar performances. Stoltz is nothing short of sensational.

An experience from a gifted writer telling a story from personal experience, as opposed to some hack culling together a melodrama about how sad it is to be crippled. Full Review |
