check out his other work

This was the third film I've seen written & directed by Eric Schaeffer. If you liked this film, please check out his movie "Fall". It could be classified as a romance, but not the kind that would ever cast Jennifer Aniston or Meg Ryan. "Fall" is painful and passionate and clever, and unlike any movie I've seen since. It absolutely crushes you. I have also never witnessed such intense chemistry between two actors. It absolutely crushes you. Eric Schaeffer plays the lead role himself. So far, he always stars in his own movies. In his movie "If Lucy Fell", he plays opposite Sara Jessica Parker. I'd recommend seeing this after "Fall" or "Mind the Gap" so you get a feel for Schaeffer's style first. "If Lucy Fell" is much more light-hearted than his other movies; but very witty, fun, and strange. Ben Stiller plays a hilarious role as a stereotypical artist who lives life in the abstract. I love Eric Schaeffer! I only hope he continues to bless us with his work.

Decent acting, intriguing stories...

Though some of the acting in this film isn't incredible, it's certainly competent. I think Eric Schaeffer is a very talented actor and director, he did a great job with this film. The five stories that are told are intriguing and the transitions between them are smooth. I'd recommend this movie if you are looking for an interesting collage of characters and plots rounded up by a blissfully happy ending. It's nice to see a movie with a complex plot and fascinating characters. It will leave you delighted with humanity and wondering what happened to each character.I, for one, really enjoyed this movie. I saw it on a satellite movie channel and am very tempted to go and rent it... possibly even buy it when I can get my hands on it.

like Raymond Carver, except ending on a good note (and a good end for Alan King)

Some people may think that the fact that "Mind the Gap" was Alan King's last movie would be a simple incentive to see it. It turns out that the movie has a lot more in store. Portraying several oddballs on the verge of seeing change in their lives, it's sort of a more interesting version of Raymond Carver's stories (in "Short Cuts", they were alienated and stayed such). Some scenes are likely to tense you up, but that just goes to show that the movie is doing a really good job.So, this was definitely a good end for Alan King. The only other cast member whom I recognized was John Heard, but the unknown cast doesn't diminish the movie's quality; on the contrary, it gives the movie a more realistic feeling. Definitely worth seeing.
