A film that simultaneously takes itself too seriously and not seriously enough. The shitty pacing and editing complimented by uninteresting acting and an extremely annoying narrator create a pretty shit film. It feels like everyone here took it very seriously yet it doesn’t reflect in the quality of the product.

“Eddie, anger is a poison. It eats us inside. We think when we hate someone we hurt them, but hatred is a curved blade, and the harm we do to others we also do to ourselves.”

This was my mom's favorite book and movie, I think. I never watched it but I was missing her tonight (she's been gone for 5 years) so I decided to watch it. I like these types as long as it doesn't get too religious. This was a nice reminder of how we should live our lives. I want to see a couple of other MItch Olbum (?) movies now.
