    in a word: GOOD!
    This is a quiet film and many haven't even heard of it. Non the less, it's worth it's one and a half hours.

    At first glance u might think it's a little "Hallmark", but trust me this is much more.

    Kent Broadhurst has written a beautiful script and one can even think it was written for the actors playing in it.

    This is the kind of film u see at home alone, or with someone u care about and someone u can show some feelings to.

    If u allow it, this movie can bring some feelings out.

    Laura Linney plays beautifully as she portrays a some what drunken single mom, with her dreams shattered as her husband takes his own life.

    Emile Hirsch shines in the part as her teenage son. Brining his softly spoken being to the cast, he makes u want to stretch out a hand and help him in his struggles.

    This is a film that leaves u with you're brain working, and that's how i like it.

    A good movie with nice moments.
