cross the line from sweet to saccharine be all too easy and with the majority of film that dare go near true sentiment end up knee deep in aspartame . but second best prance on that line with aplomb and grace . i realize that and sweet and would not be the first adjective out of one mouth after see second best and but sweet be what it be . sweet it be to realize that average be as human a we get while sweet it be to realize that jealousy be as common a the cold while sweet it be to realize that real success have little to do with win while and sweet it be to once again realize that the journey be far more interesting than the destination . so and at the risk of sound a bit gooey and myself and i think eric weber have come up with a very sweet and funny movie . it deal with failure and misguide potential and loss but you actually come out of the movie feeling good . good in the way that garden state and or the station agent and or even the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind make you feel . the direction and the dialog and the performance especially that of joey pantalione ring true and honest and real without even a hint of the after taste of sweet n low . to me it be the kind of movie that you wish do not end so fast . it good for all of u second besters . the winner can stay away .
