I love this movie so much. Even if it wasn't about a 'war' between lifeguards and firefighters, it'd be awesome... but it ... IS. The writing was stellar and the pacing good...it felt a little long in parts but in others it felt like the director really knew how to let a scene breathe. Great comedic acting, fun cast. Worth it.

"The Man from Orlando" is a quirky, rather hilarious, comedy about going home. Or more to the point, why would you try? Of course, Orlando (it's the guy's name, not his hometown, and makes for a great running gag) tries to reconnect with his place of origin. You'd expect him to give up, but then we wouldn't have this gem of a movie. Many would say, "You can't go home again, just keep going." I say, give it, and this movie, a shot.
