This was just an okay movie. Could have been worse and maybe could have been better. It's about a boy growing up with a mentally ill mother and how all three of them cope with the situation. I wish they would have developed the nosey neighbor story line more--I think that would have helped make it better. I liked the way the boy used his own coping strategy to help his dad continue with his coping strategy. That was touching, and it also showed that deep down he accepted his mother, even though some of the things she did caused him pain.
