[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

Good job Alison. Your film was sweet, and both characters were likable. You and your costar were able to anchor the bizarre in reality, giving endearing performances. So many great lines, but "LOVE YOUR PILES" slayed.

Would you provide a link to any other Omeleto that you've been in? Thanks.

I love the female lead. The way she delivers missing the class when the kids learned how to do things really hit me. Sometimes it does feel that way.

[@DrugzMunny]

I actually opted out of that "Changes" class in middle school because I guess it sounded awkward or w/e, and now I'm wondering wtf did they discuss in there? I must've missed some real gems.
