Good character study, meaningful message
16 October 2002
This movie is about two men of whom neither are perfect. One man seems to have a lot wrong with his character but a gleam of hope for redemption. The other man has worked hard to become a good father and husband, and therefore has a lot right with enough still wrong to cause him heartache. I love the way the movie departs from the all-too-often character development that leaves the viewer with a definite bad guy and an unmistakable good guy. What you have here are two men whose chance and cataclysmic encounter forces them to see themselves in a new light. See the movie to find out what such an illumination brings about in their lives. It's a great ride!

Stick with it. You'll be glad you did.

My comments are for the people who will rent this movie and be tempted to turn it off after the first 30 minutes. For me, this movie had a slow start, and frankly I was scratching my head a bit wondering where this movie was going and whether I had rented a dud. My husband, son, and I persevered and loved watching this movie unfold into a delightful story about family and the accompanying quirks, highs and lows, and often misunderstandings that occur between relatives. When the movie concluded, we looked at each other and said, "Now that was a good movie!"
