i be not a parent and neither be i a male . but i be able to identify with every character heartache and pain . this be a movie teenager should watch . maybe that way they will start appreciate the value of family again . i be sorry for those that do not understand the value of love and family and friendship . it be very interesting to watch patrick duffy in a different role than that of bobby ewing . and it be great to see a 19 year old ben affleck give his best in a moving and sincere performance . he show at an early age and that he be capable of heartfelt drama . he should be offer more serious role . note hollywoodland . his first serious role in year and he go out and win best actor at the venice festival in 2006. this movie can be appreciate by people of all age . maybe shouldn not be watch by child under 10 because they might get scar that the same may happen to their family and but i recommend it to the entire family . i buy this movie on dvd and have watch it with friend many time . because it portray the value that be important in life .
