One Hanks, two Hanks, Tom Hanks, Tru Hanks?

I found the story quite compelling, eagerly watching the build-up to figure out what really made O-t-t-o just quite so grumpy. I enjoyed the interwoven memories of the past. It's a bit jarring jumping back sometimes, but so are daydreams.

"A very sad cautionary tale about HOAs."

A really good movie that's so sad it's hard to recommend. The acting held up, the plot was reasonable, and the characters were honest. The movie sort of felt like the first 10 minutes of Up turned into a feature film. If you want to feel sad, watch this movie.
