SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

good back-story, and good acting

There's a good chance the film will make you laugh out loud, but if it doesn't, there's an even better chance it will make you openly sob.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
