I get people saying the writing might be uninspired and familiar, yet I really like these type of movies. There is something about these familiar movies that moves us, especially when the acting is good like this one. Also, the pool playing gives a little action to the drama. David Strathairn is great and Jeffey Dean Morgan is cool even though not a great father figure. I don't get why people have a problem with Julian Feder. He's a really good actor, and I've seen him in other movies, including A Boy Called Po, where he was amazing! Maybe it was the direction, as overall the movie can be a little slow. But, in the end, I would recommend the movie for the performances and message.
