I think people that don't like this are missing something pretty crucial in the viewing- Trey Nelson usually does documentaries so there is a feeling and realistic personality to every shot. The choice, for example, to cut to the swollen old latex gloved hands of a lady pouring sugar syrup on an ice-cone at the fair. That isn't something most filmmakers with bother with but it adds so much character that feels like more than just a movie about a 2-bit crook connecting with his son. It's earnest, and sweet.
