Sorry, guys. I can't find a trailer to embed into the review. I've only got a link (above) to the IMDB trailer.
Rating: R
Movie Release Date: April 11, 2002
DVD Release Date: September 28, 2004
Plot 411: By-the-books Sara takes a walk on the wild side when she meets Virgil, a tattoo artists brought in by one of her students for show-and-tell.
Review: Sara (Megan Edwards) is a control freak and overachiever vying for Idaho's teacher of the year award. She lives an orderly, perfect life with her long-time boyfriend (Benjamin Burdick). When one of her students brings a tattoo artist (Virgil Mignanelli) to class, she quickly gets on her high horse and judges him as a bad influence on the kids. But curiosity killed the cat, as they say, and she soon finds herself very curious about Virgil. She's never met anyone like him before and soon she's able to let her hair loose (metaphorically and physically speaking). This movie had a fairly common plot, but I liked the honesty of the actors. They portrayed real life as opposed to some fictionalized, dramatized life on screen. For the most part, the characters were likable and the love story is sweet. Was there a lot of action in this movie? No. Was there tremendous heartache and heartbreak? Somewhat, but it was more realistic than the overly dramatic mainstream rom coms. Would I recommend this one? Probably not.
Watch It: If you're a fan of indie flicks and like giving small filmmakers a chance.
Skip It: If you're not.
