I like Ed Harris; he is a quality actor, but I hated his character in this film. I really wanted him to die as quickly as possible because everyone connected with him would have been a lot better off. The guy even ruins everyone's Christmas in addition to stealing his son's hard-earned money. What a scumbag father; I dont care if he made some crappy album of his son's achievements. He was a lowlife who stunted the advance of his twin sons, who deserved much better than him. I had absolutely no sympathy for him whatsoever. It is his sons I really felt sorry for and the wife we never get to know.
