As someone in recovery from many things, I think this film brings to light some serious issues and uses comedy to lighten it, where other movies prefer to keep it dark and discouraging. It also brings to light the reality that no matter how long you are sober, not having the right relapse prevention plan in place can create havoc. It also highlights the fact that even the most hopeless cases can surprise you, and become the exact people you need in recovery! One of the best films about addictions I have ever watched! Critics care too much about the cast and performances, and clearly don't seem to know enough about the true world of addictions. Only addicts can really comprehend all that is going on and the reality of it all!
