    Very touching- the emotion it evokes run full circle and some of the things said by different characters makes you stop and think about life in general. I would strongly recommend this film to anyone.

    FANTASTIC MOVIE! Felicity Huffman shines with newcomer Kevin Zegers....not exactly for the conservative types, that is for sure, but the point of the movie is how we humans need to learn to love ourselves for who we are or want to become, and then, and only then can we love others... Not given the appropriate advertising budget like the movies aimed at younger audiences This is a classic example of how a great movie gets lost in the shuffle....EXCELLENT WRITING...like they say if it not on the page, it is not on the stage!!!!!

    This movie keeps you on your seat the whole time! Acting was superb. Characters were very credible. It was a touchy subject brilliantly handled. Very moving, with just the right amount of humor. It really makes you think!
