Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
This woman keeps churning awesome movie after awesome movie. It's just so unbelievable. In this movie she plays Frances Lacey. A mother of 6. After being fired from a job in a chips factory. She decides to take her family out of her broken down studio apartment, and move them to a better home. I'm not going to spoil anymore to you because this movie teaches you about patience better than any cliché you can find in a cookie at your local Chinese restaurant. Everybody in this movie was absolutely amazing. Edward Furlong(who you might know from Terminator 2) plays her eldest son and he plays a trouble teenager better than most around this era of film making. It's so sad knowing his peak is far behind him. Indeed a very underrated actor. So overall i give this movie a 10/10. I don't usually give a 10 out unless something is done spot on. And this was it. There wasn't a dull moment here, everything connected beautifully and was so real that i got lost in the characters story.
This is a heart wrenching tale about a single mom trying her best to provide for her family. Kathy Bates is outstanding in her portrayal of a hard scrabble mom, down on her luck, who tries to start over and provide a home for her kids. I can't say enough about her performance.This family goes through some really difficult times, so this isn't necessarily a feel good movie, although there are some inspiring moments. Just when you think things can't get any worse for this family, it does. My heart just broke.I think this movie does a great job if it causes us to take better notice of those around us who are in need - and do what we can to help them. It becomes difficult, if you run into a women like portrayed here, that is too proud to accept "handouts". But this movie is also inspiring in that it is a great example of the determination of the human spirit and what someone can do in this country if they make up their mind to be somebody and provide a better life for their children.
This movie is really one of the best movies I've ever seen. It is highly underrated and needs a higher rating on here. Kathy Bates does really well as a single mother raising six kids. Her emotions and acts are extremely realistic even if they are not likable. I usually don not like family orientated movies, but this one was great. Everything about it is so well done, and if makes you feel and think about what really goes on the world, and what life is really about. A must see if you are fan of movies period. I don't know how anyone could dislike this movie. I rate it 8/10. Rated PG for some mild language and violence in a family drama
Kathy Bates and Edward Furlong were great. The story flowed and at times was a tear jerker. One couldn't help but root for the family and their drive to have a home called their own. One mother's desire to hold her family together at all costs. Not an Oscar winner, but a real down to earth humanistic story all can relate to. A MUST SEE.
