Excellent Film. Definitely an Independent Film feel. Moody, Quirky, Sour, Sweet, Sentimental, Real, Uplifting and Surprising. If you are looking for action, this isn't the movie for you, but if you like character development, depth and good writing with offbeat, sincere characters this is a thoughtful, sensitive and gently moving film. It shows much of what we often hide and brings our frailties, flaws and idiosyncrasies into the company of another. Personal growth can be baby steps, but still significant. Filled with Creative and Intimate scenes. Delicately sensual versus sexual, though sexuality is an aspect of this film, but not an overriding one. The film speaks to the senses. I love the visual of the parting shot and the music during that scene. The score is wonderful as well. If you like Woody Allen films, then you will probably enjoy this.

dianerath14 May 2013Somewhere Tonight is a sweet love story about two lonely people living in New York City. Wooly, played by John Turturro, is a bike messenger and Patti is an agoraphobic shut-in. They are both trying to find love and companionship on an adult phone chat line. Wooly and Patti are sexually inexperienced because of their lack of social skills and quirky personalities. Neither character finds what they are expecting in these phone calls, but their attempts to form a romantic relationship are comical and sometimes frustrating for them. Both John Turturro and Katherine Borowitz do a wonderful job of displaying their characters' unusual personalities with funny dialog and convincing performances that will keep the viewer smiling and interested right up to the end of the movie. Michael Di Jaccomo has done a great job of creating characters that we really care about and audiences will love the charming ending!
