I was fortunate to see this film at the San Jose Film Festival last year when I visited my brother and his family. Our group of eight ranged in ages from ten to two senior citizens. To say the least, there was a fair amount of debate, but we decided we were intrigued with the title "Wake" and decided to see it.

It was such a delightful movie! We all enjoyed it. The story line was very different and clever (always refreshing!). We were not familiar with Bijou Phillips before this movie, but she was perfectly cast as the heroine or protagonist. I'm going to watch for more of her movies in the future. We especially liked the scene where she had to play dead for the nephews visiting the morgue; the entire theater was laughing so loudly!

I intend to buy the DVD soon for my collection.

I loved this movie - great chemistry between actors - go Bijou - loved her! The writing is top notch and has a couple plot twists you don't see coming, which is rare these days. Great Indie movie! I loved the best friend of Bijou who I thought was extremely funny! It's fun to see Danny Masterson act with Bijou, who I just read were engaged! The music is also wonderful, I totally want the soundtrack! It's fun to see an Indie movie with heart and soul instead of these big guns, big stars Blockbuster movies. I really loved this experience - I had a glass of nice wine and and just sat back and relaxed this great movie! A++ I wish more small Indie movies like this would come out!

Rented the movie and enjoyed it so much, I purchased it. Lighthearted and fun given the situations. Phillips does a great job here trying to come to grips with the death of her sister years earlier and her parents misguided attempts to shelter her from the loss. Somerhalder is amazing as Tyler. Dealing with the loss of his fiancé, her sisters suspicions that he killed her and meeting a woman that changes his life. It tackled many serious subjects without dragging the movie down. The supporting cast is great as well. The roommate with boyfriend issues, the mortician/friend who listens to all of her problems, while he's obviously in love with her, her parents who tried their best, but caused more damage and the deceased fiancés sister who hires a PI to uncover the truth about her sisters death.
