Ratings and reviews

This movie it's hard to put into words, I was heavily depressed this year being sick from my disease an not doing a job that i love feeling everything was taken away from me, I just wanted to just ended, my mom rescued dragged me from Pittsburgh to NC an had me stay for a couple of months. Saw my step receive his Medical degree an massage my mom. Help me focus and stay away from those thoughts.in school now for massage therapy. But I know what this movie talking about with the people who loves you. WATCH!!

The characters have depth that makes each of them interesting while adding to a single story. The movie blends comedy and drama very well. My one criticism would be that almost everything in the movie was a little too predictable, including the jokes which are meant to be "random." Even despite that, I still think this movie deserves the 5-star rating I'm giving it.

This movie was a great surprise. Seann William Scott shows that he's not that one dimensional caricature of a person he plays in the American Pie series. His acting is more developed and believable. The movie deals with some dense issues, but does it in a tasteful and light way. I wouldn't say this movie is a comedy, more like a "dramedy" . Overall very enjoyable and well done.
