Yes, there where flaws in the story. but, I found it to be a "heartwarming" parable. I learned a lot about myself having watched it. It gently taught me that there are so many different ways that people can love each other, and for whom we can love - even if that love conflicts with others we love. We all deserve love and are able to love. And, in this showing that includes love between different ages, love between races, love those with disabilities and addictions, love between families not related, and so much more. Just love.
I appreciated that the young man became aware of addiction even though he had no addictions what so ever. But we all became aware of the fact that everyone else in his life was. Isn't that a mirror of our true American life? You may not be an addict at 18, but hang on for a few years and you will find one ( an addiction).
No, this was definitely not a comedy. If it has been advertised as such, that is truly unfortunate. I think the only thing that was supposed to be funny was the horrible doctor addict who couldn't care for his patients. Funny...not funny.
Thank you William H. Macy for making this movie. So sorry it didn't get a higher rating. Your brilliance is truly worthy of respect. You certainly have mine.
