“I had great expectations before seeing this movie, and it fell far short of those expectations. I think the acting and cinematography were well done, and I liked the music, but the story didnu0026#39;t convince me of the actual anxiety and angst people in these situations feel. The father has less time and energy to work and mounting medical bills, yet he has money for supplies to build a boat and the time and energy to build it? I would also expect to see a little more anger on the fatheru0026#39;s part, but I guess Joe Pantoliano is such a nice guy, we couldnu0026#39;t expect him to be angry.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie was okay. When I see these glowing reviews, however, I wonder if I was watching the same movie. It came across to me like a Hallmark movie or one of those after-school specials they used to show on TV in the u0026#39;80s. I live in a family struggling with mental illness, and I like to feel hope, but not false, sailing-into-the-sunset hope.”
