This movie is unique in its plot. I have never seen another one quite like it. An escaped prisoner, Frank Chambers (Josh Brolin), elicits the help of a woman named Adele (Kate Winslet) and her thirteen year old son Henry (Gattlin Griffith). He has them drive him to Adele’s home where he plans a brief stay before taking off to keep ahead of the police. However, after he begins fixing things around the house and giving Henry batting tips he becomes part of Adele and Henry’s home. Soon they plan to leave suddenly for Canada to start a new life as Adele has fallen in love with Frank. Adele had learned there was more to Frank being in prison than what is known and that his “crime” was really an accident. As stated, the plot is unique. The acting is quite good although the film moved a bit slowly in the beginning. Perhaps surprisingly, it has a happy ending.

At any rate, we are unable to award this movie our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal due to strong language and excessive sexuality.
