There aren't many films that bring a tear to this cynical old eye, and I thought I'd sail through this little drama and remain dry. But a son saying "Thanks" is enough to start the waterworks, it seems. And I didn't feel manipulated; that tear was not squeezed out of me by foul means. That tear was gladly given and well earned. I cannot say how true to life this film is, although I do no doubt this goes on. Nevertheless, the drama was enough to open my eyes - bloodshot with crying though they might have been.
