Ryan has all his belongings except his
guitar in his backpack. He rides
trains from place to place and he’s hoping to become a successful
musician. Jackie is not paying
attention and crossing the street as she checks her cell phone. A pickup almost hits her and Ryan comes
to her aid. She has a good scrape
on her knee but otherwise she’s OK.
When Ryan turns around, all his things including his guitar are
gone. Jackie invites him over for
dinner to thank him for his kindness.
A lot of information is left out of this
film. Why is Jackie getting a
divorce from her husband in New York?
Why is he fighting the divorce and threatening to ask for full custody
of their daughter Lia. If Jackie
had a successful musical career, why is she living poor in Utah? I can’t answer any of those questions
from what I saw? 3* (This movie is
