I have to say that I expected a lot more from this movie, but I was still not disappointed at all when leaving the film "You Can Count on Me." The acting was phenomenal and the story was very real and touching. Although there was no "Umpfh" to the film, I still found it to be a great story of unconditional love in families. I believe that there should have been more said about the death of the main characters' parents. This is a touching idea and it should have been developed further. Thumbs up for newcomer Rory Culkin. He makes his brothers look like amateurs. If your looking for a real story with real people, real acting, and without all of the Hype (like Cast Away), go see this film.
