Pete Davidson lost his real life father on 9/11 at roughly age 7, as his father was a first responder to the twin towers disaster in New York City. I lost my own father at age 13 when he became sick after going on a scuba diving check out dive. I'd have to say the Pete had a much rougher childhood than I did because his father voluntarily took a risk that led to his own demise, but my father who was 46 didn't do anything reckless - he was likely struck by a rare virus. So this movie was always going to be a must-watch movie for me. I am ashamed to say I have never paid it forward with another young man in need of some fathering.. for me this movie is about what my childhood might have become if things had gone South or if my mom and a scoutmaster hadn't pulled me back from the brink. I loved every minute of this drama comedy!
