gracie have some tough choice to make in this movie and play mom to 3 brother and a sister be choice that any teenager should not have to make and once in a while you would care for sibling under the supervision of your parent and you would simply carry out the instruction . gracie have to make decision for everyone and basically she put her life on hold and and a mention earlier and her boyfriend come across a stupid and one moment he in love and admire her strength and the next he urge her to chuck it in and throw her lot with him and his nouveau riche family . it seem stupid and trite and somewhere out and there one stupid man who lose the woman of his life . anne heche drug out mom be over stretch but drug do thing to people and i be glad that gracie influence hold the kid together . the scene where the boy have to decide who they would live be heart wrenching and actually bring tear to my eye . watch the young one and talk about his love for horse but want to sleep in his bed and wake up at home with gracie totally melt me . this be a story that touch the heart and my hat off to the real gracie . you rock sista and you really do . kristen bell actually make the character believable and she be and be still gracie for me . sound solid movie .
