This would have been a great family film, as Showtime had stated, but is is marred by R-rated type language, which is disheartenting since this was labled for families and rated TV-PG. If Showtime could release this film on video minus the language, I would recommend it. The film deals with some family issues that are not touched upon in many of todays films, and it does so without being over-cheesy and emotionally absurd. It is well written, directed, and it has higher quality than most films made for cable networks, making me think that it might have even been intended for a theatrical release. Let us hope that executive producer Norman Jewison (director of such films as The Hurricane) decides to fund more of these kinds of movies for the network, only without freewheeling use of profanities.
