I liked this movie particularly because of the relationship between the grandmother and the "fugitive teen". This is a movie of relationships. It presents the story of an elderly woman (Burstyn) who is churning at the bit to live her own life, whilst buffeting the blows from her daughter who seems committed to putting her into a nursing home. Her son is not married ,visits her often, and agrees with her views. Burstyn hears of the plight of the dog catcher's cousin (Thomas) who is in a rehabilitation center and takes him cake and iced tea. As she becomes woven into the teen's life, she becomes much happier and so does he. Her daughter and son consider him a "felon" and want her to quit helping him. He is finally caught and returned to the center. Burstyn rescues him and he becomes part of her family. It's a lovely ending. Cynthia A. (lalady) from ROCK SPRING, GA wrote on 5/1/2008...

This movie is one that the whole family will enjoy. You will laugh, and you will cry. It is definately a favorite of mine, that I must have watched atleast five times so far. Rarely does a movie now days, have a message in it that we can all learn from. You'll love this one! Grab some popcorn, kleenex, and the kids, and enjoy the movie.
