I was at Sundance this year and saw Dedication. It was suprisingly really, really good...and honestly Mandy's acting was incredible! I think this role is going to do so much for her...the whole film was great-funny and dark all at once, with really good music and a good take on love and relationships. Billy Crudup is pretty incredible too! Does anyone know when it's being released nationwide?
