    This movie inspired me to reach into my self and be true.
    To me, the movie 12 Bucks painted a realistic portrait of what it is like for a child to live in a home of abuse and neglect. The "Harshness" in the beginning of the movie is a perfect way to show the audience the seriousness of the situation and understand the reactions of the children. I was very impressed with the actors (Scott Waugh and Sean Graham) I thought that the roles were well cast and was delighted at the way the characters evolved into finding their true selfs and each other. The show was a heart warming tale that I thought was very well written with twists and turns that were both humouous and intense. I would recommend this movie to anyone with a heart for forgiveness.
