River Street

About This Movie

So, 'River Street' is an interesting blend of comedy and romance from 1997. It follows Ben, this property developer who's got a pretty inflated sense of self—right until he finds himself in a bit of a pickle after a wrongful arrest. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, especially when he ends up with community service at a day center. There's a certain charm in how he interacts with the local kids, particularly a young troublemaker who really shakes up his worldview. The performances are engaging, and you can feel the shift in Ben's character as he starts to confront his own values. It’s not the most polished film, but it has a raw, authentic vibe that makes it stand out from other rom-coms of the era.

Focus on character development over traditional plot. · Watch for the mix of humor and heartfelt moments. · Notice the practical effects used in the day center scenes.
