Quotes
Dr. Charles Loftis:
We used to say it took a year. Remember? A year to put a kid right. Sure, that just happened to be what the insurance covered. But now they cut it back to two, three months, and presto! we cure them in two or three months.

I found the movie to be very interesting.
It is about the complexities involved with living in the 80's in southern California.
The southern California area, this movie deals with, has those societal dynamics because of the different cultures involved.
Someone that is not a citizen of southern California might find the movie hard to relate to but it is still worth seeing.
If you want a window into what sometimes happens here in southern California you must see the movie.
