    "The Widowers" is a Wonderful Surprise!

    Superbly acted, well-written, and directed with a sober-but-humorously tender eye and heart, "The Widowers" is a wonderful surprise from start to finish. Grief counseling is a tough subject to make funny, but these filmmakers do it - and in the process they also manage to make a touching and enlightened (as well as enlightening) film, as well. Director Jonathan Scott Chin and writer Richard Lovejoy are a talented pair to keep an eye on in the future. Lovejoy also delivers a lovely, understated lead performance (as does co-star Kent Meister), and the supporting players all vy to steal the movie away from each other (especially the hilarious Jennifer Laine Williams and Ryan Andes). This is highly recommended independent cinema at its finest.
