Family and friends join together in restaurants for celebratory feasts and at one dinner gathering in Faneuil Hall’s Union Oyster House, the seemingly impossible happens. The ink still wet on their diplomas, two friends??the potential leaders of our future–share in a dialogue alongside several visionaries of centuries past.

Every other aspect of the film, however, begs to be compared to Big Beach’s Oscar-nominated 2006 release, “Little Miss Sunshine.” From the Albuquerque setting...
