Fun little film, with hoffman and son. And the mother daughter team of sissie spacek and schuyler fisk. Sam and kate are each trying to look after a parent, and having mixed results. And everyone here has flaws or weaknesses. Like we all do. Parents and kids know how to push each other's buttons, so it results in poor communication. People don't say what's really bothering them. It's pretty well written. There are some threads left hanging, but mostly on minor points in the grand scheme of the story. We never do find out why sam can't call his father "dad". We never found out if sam got the box back for tina. Did he ever apologize to her for goofing up in the first place. It's already one hour fifty minutes, so i'm guessing a few things were left on the editing floor. Very cute! It does end on an upbeat note. Written and directed by darren le gallo... his second, so far.
