Perfect cast and a good story
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
