Short Synopsis: It's hard to be a parent to your parents.

What was good: Extremely true performances by Laura Linney and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. A very well written script.

What was not good: Nothing

Academic Rating: A -- Worth going out of your way to see

Comments: This film hits home to those of us old enough to see our parents get to the point where they can't take care of all of their needs. This sure gives a very realistic view of that situation. Some of the ads indicate this film is a warm comedy. It is actually a drama with a few pleasant moments, but it is definitely not a comedy.
