SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Michael Ledo The film centers on the life of Denny Briggs (Milo Ventimiglia) who we first meet doing stand-up comedy. We then watch the events leading up to this point, including his tragic childhood. His sister Madison (Amanda Aday) is in jail for protecting him from his parents. Denny starts to work at the Miller's restaurant, where they treat him like the family he always wanted. This is contrasted by his actual family when his sister is released from jail and becomes the family he doesn't want. Is blood thicker than water? This is an engaging drama that may not appeal to everyone due to the speed and length. The acting was top notch and the idea of what constitutes a family is challenged. Guide: F-word. Implied sex. No nudity.

markgallup This movie has a very powerful story and themes. It goes deep into the human mind and finds how relationships work. The characters are likable and interesting with more to them than what appears on the surface. It is paced very well and is very impressive. The only issues I have is the score is severely lacking in identity and doesn't feel organic and the ending, while has some very powerful moments, leaves some plot lines unfinished. I would recommend this to nearly anyone, the story (even if you can't find it too relatable) has a lot of things to say about love, family, and your past.

kellizaranka Great! Truly made an impact! Milo Ventimiglia is exceptional!

del-665-4831 I have not seen a movie this good in years. It was produced with a very small budget, according to the director and producers, but has the look and feel of a large studio release. The movie is well cast, the acting is excellent. The story is well structured and the characters are believable and engaging. Everything is well put together from the editing to the soundtrack. Not for youngsters for sure, and even if you think you know where the story is going, you will be in for a surprise here and there. No car chase scenes with vehicles flying over gorges, no over-the-top pyrotechnics, no super heroes with magic powers...just a good story, well told. I encourage you to see this film when it is playing near you, or ask your local independent theater to inquire about showing it at their venue.
