Both Eve and Ritter are relatively seasoned at the entertainment gig. While Eve comes from a family of actors, Ritter was discovered in her teens at a mall. Most recently, Ritter has been in “Confessions of a Shopaholic” and “27 Dresses” but for Eve, this is one of her first major releases...

Though this focus on redemption could have been cheesy, in reality it’s entirely appropriate. Just as the film shows, Blur’s image was transformed by their reunion. Albarn’s final words...
