Overall I believe it was a great movie; as with any movie certain things could have been done better, but hey... humans are imperfect at best, and uncooperative at worst. All in all a great movie in my opinion; especially with families that are " broken " in some way. I myself come from one such family, and really identified with max, conner, and benny.
It touches on several family dynamic related issues in loud ways, but also subtle ways. I would highly recommend families with teens of a broken, or dysfunctional family watch this with their entire family; then discuss family issues and try to resolve them. Resolve= Re+solve. Re : "retry, do-over, do again." solve: find an answer, obtain a solution to a problem.
This is a slightly lengthy review, but I believe this movie deserves such lengthy reviews. I hope that this movie causes families to ponder on what they can alter in the future to have a more cohesive, stronger, honest, and love filled home.
Great movie seriously!!
