Movie Haiku:Accomplished first feature in which JGL casts himself as a Jersey Boy who wants to keep life simple but slowly wises up. Excellent supporting performances all around. You think you know where all this is going, but then wham: everything gets way more complicated--and interesting--than anticipated. Asks pertinent questions about all the media images now lodged in our brains.
