While slow moving, neither my wife nor I minded. There is plenty of time to talk, play skipbo, or time to meditate and remember what is most important in life--family. A unique and unforgettable movie. After watching, my own concerns in life don't seem so important, and I'm reminded how little money one really needs to survive, if creative. Many examples about how Alvin with seemingly little to offer, used his kindness and wisdom to help others who crossed his path along the way. Cool that it is based on a true story.
