This slightly below average film explores a typical small town South Carolina family through some trials and tribulations.
While it breaks no new dramatic ground, "Staying Together" takes a look at the coming of age of late teen brothers in an average American semi-rural setting.
The talented Stockard Channing heads a handsome cast, all hard working to make the most of an earnest if uneven script.
While the film isn't for everyone, those who can appreciate a story of an average smalltown American family may find these characters and situations of interest. Lee Grant is the director.
