4.0 out of 5 stars Hidden and In America, June 8, 2006

By	C. D. Howard "Movielover" (GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Too many people take starvation in this country far too lightly. This movie brings to life the very certainty that kids do without the common necessities here in the USA.
This movie shows how one doctor, raised and living in the upper class of wealth, gets over his feelings regarding a man who struggles with a restaraunt job just to make ends meet for his two children. This is a very good movie about friendship beyond the bonds of class.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must-see, November 7, 2007

By	Matt Kratz "c&w and books lover" (Richardson, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the type of movie that will make you appreciate what you have in life. Beau Bridges gives a remarkable performance as a man who loses his job and wife at the same time and has to fend for himself and two small children, one of whom has a bad medical condition, and he severely struggles throughout the movie to make ends meet, and his pride prevents him from accepting handouts from a well-meaning doctor. Before you start to think that your life is too tough, watch this well-made movie.

*** out of ****
