A little too slow - perhaps purposly so, but otherwise a very nice film. Based on a true story. At times his frustration & struggle was hard to watch. Single moms been there done THAT (I know) but here's a dad to tell his story as well. NOT as many resourses (at least in 81, & perhaps not even now) for single dads as there were/are for single moms. Trying to make a better life for the both of them. If you had hard times yourself, it'll bring it on back to ya. Sometimes the good guys win. Good to know.
