Sad to say, but it is difficult to find anything positive to say about this movie. It’s basically about an old man named Pops, and his disabled wife, Nan, and the tension between them. And Nan is spiteful, hateful, and fights with her daughter Rae as well as her grandson Travis. Nan curses a lot as does Rae and Travis. There are skeletons hiding in the closets and then Rae drops a big one on her mother. Entertaining this movie is not.

The one positive I can think of is that Cal Bartlett turns in a sympathetic performance as Pops, going the extra mile and being patient with Nan as much as he can. But Nan not only alienates her family with her crotchety attitude, but then makes a racial slur toward a black woman who had visited her and cheered her up.

The film is loaded with sexual comments and innuendos, profanities, including the Lord’s name taken in vain on several occasions, and is basically about a very dysfunctional family. And the ending is a real downer. Death is one of the themes of the film, but it is implied that basically anyone, no matter their way of life, will go to heaven.

Due to the excessive language and sexual comments, and the racial slur, this can in no way be considered a family-friendly film and it has not come close to earning our Dove seal.

The Dove Take

This is a depressing movie to watch, and is filled with anger, language, and sexual comments.
