great film, 14 December 2002
10/10
Author: donna

If you like tear jerkers, this one is for you. If you have ever dealt with suicide, this one is for you. I hate tear jerkers but this is one film that is outstanding. It was genuine and not unrealistic like a lot of movies. this movie is true to what people go through living with an alcoholic and/or dealing with suicide. The acting in this movie was fantastic.
