A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

I would have liked to see more reference in the credits to Mark Daniel Leitner, who is the editor and listed as editor. However he was also up-writer, production manager and wore a few other hats to make this project the best it could be. Just Sayin. Now that's all I have to mention, however this stupid review box requires 10 lines! That's stupid of IMDb to do that. So I'll paste lines from another review to make up the difference.

This was filmed at the store my brother is co-manager of! His family is even in the film plus many other locals. We saw the preview and I love the "guy with the sausage" line. I know many of the local people that would like to have a copy of this so if any one finds where they might be distributing it let me know. The initial part of the story is actually truthful - Hegedorns has been a family owned business with the one store and an ice cream store since I can remember. They are surrounded by the big boys like Tops, Wegmans and more - BJs is in their back door. But they still survive. One of the funniest was my niece played her true roll as a cashier and then you'd see her in the deli and then as a customer.

I recently saw Checkout at The Valley Film Festival and really enjoyed it. Anson Scoville, (as Curt McCain) was great. We should definitely be seeing him in more films. Michael Parducci and Burt Young were also very good. Mark Foggetti did a wonderful job with the cinematography and direction of the film. The story is entertaining and has laugh-out-loud humor. If you can... checkout... Checkout!

Director Mark Foggetti synchronizes cast, characters and plot to produce a light, yet engaging film. Mark has a knack for casting, and in drawing out performances of his actors that strike just the right chord for the material. Checkout is no different. Michael Parducci is especially effective as Nick, who, throughout the story, experiences a full range of emotions from love to lament, anger to forgiveness, exasperation to hope, and pulls them all off convincingly.Yes, there are some sophmoric characters, caricatures and situations, as one reviewer has pointed out, but these are but light-hearted adornments to what is, at its center, a multi-layered love story: the love of a mother and son; the love of two brothers; the love among friends; the love of a man and woman. No one is perfect. No one sells out. No one is unaffected.If good storytelling is about conflict, and it is, then this is a very good story. The good guys win and that's okay.Stay tuned for more good stuff from Mark Foggetti. He's just getting warmed up.
