The film centers on the life of Denny Briggs (Milo Ventimiglia) who we first meet doing stand-up comedy. We then watch the events leading up to this point, including his tragic childhood. His sister Madison (Amanda Aday) is in jail for protecting him from his parents. Denny starts to work at the Miller's restaurant, where they treat him like the family he always wanted. This is contrasted by his actual family when his sister is released from jail and becomes the family he doesn't want. Is blood thicker than water? This is an engaging drama that may not appeal to everyone due to the speed and length. The acting was top notch and the idea of what constitutes a family is challenged. Guide: F-word. Implied sex. No nudity.

This movie has a very powerful story and themes. It goes deep into the human mind and finds how relationships work. The characters are likable and interesting with more to them than what appears on the surface. It is paced very well and is very impressive. The only issues I have is the score is severely lacking in identity and doesn't feel organic and the ending, while has some very powerful moments, leaves some plot lines unfinished. I would recommend this to nearly anyone, the story (even if you can't find it too relatable) has a lot of things to say about love, family, and your past.

Terrible acting, terrible Cohen brothers rip off with an early Luc Besson spice. Don't waste your time... unless candid rip off's are your fetish.
