if they could get ed asner why do not they get other actor instead of people who go to the same church a the producer . and why do the protagonist throw the wise old sage character to the ground when he be never in danger . it force the old guy to mask the injury out of pride and so the young guy would feel guilty leave him with a life long disability . i guess thats why the main character refuse money though and why the old guy work him like a dog even when he volunteer for extra work . if the d bag boyfriend be a bad guy because he be long distance boyfriend then why be a soldier any good . he have good reason to be jealous and good reason to get her away from her hometown and over protective and control manipulative father . all the character that be mean to be likable aren not and everyone else be the bad boyfriend . how do they meet anyway and a wine broker and a saw mill worker .
