Acting was superb from all the actors!I would rate it more a 3.5... overall. Some parts skip too far in to the future.. not sure what happened in between.

Oscar nomination for Best Actor to Woody Harrelson

this movie grabs you and pulls at your heartstrings throughout. you get lost in the family struggles and their happiness as well. would definately see this movie again and again.

I thought it was great, the actors were life like and I felt the story really hit home
