Sherman's Way - Opening Night Gala
Craig Saavedra 2007
Categories: Comedy, Featured, Feature Film, Opening Night, Parties
Run time: 97 min. | USA
Having followed his girlfriend out to California’s Wine Country for the summer, Sherman is thrown for a loop. He is dumped, loses his wallet and his mother cuts him off financially. Desperate, Sherman agrees to help an acquaintance, Palmer, restore a classic Roadster in exchange for a ride to Southern California. With the aid of Palmer’s friend, DJ, the trio is set to finish on schedule. As they make their way through gallons of grease, bondo and paint, Palmer and DJ introduce Sherman to fishing, swimming and the art of picking up women. When Sherman’s romantic encounter with Addy gets him to question his career choice, Palmer must decide whether to do what’s right or what’s in his best interest.

POST PARTY: Following the film, please join us for our Gala Kickoff to the 2008 Newport Beach Film Festival. This celebration will be held at the Fashion Island Courtyard next to Bloomingdales.

User Thumbnail Had a great time watching this movie. James Legros is awesome as Palmer, brings charm to an otherwise mean character. Enrico is great as usual (he's Elliot from "Just Shoot Me" fame, remember?) Really, really enjoyed Brooke Nevin-- and I'm not just saying that because I met her at the Gala afterwards! She perfectly fit the bill as the quirky kick-in-the-pants cutie that the character Sherman needs to loosen up. Probably won't make my top ten list of fav films, but a fun, well crafted ride nonetheless. Definitely a crowd pleaser (myself included!)
