Juliette Lewis, Darlene Cates and Mary Steenburgen. The movie is about Gilbert trying to find his identity in life while he deals with a mentally Arnie as he tries his best to be the best mentor he can be. This movie focuses on the challenges a family faces in a small town everyday, and one which is struggling with a mentally ill child. Also though, this movie focuses on what true love is as a family. Through their tough times it shows how they came together and showed how a family should be. In the movie there was scene where Gilbert had enough of helping Arnie and the fact he was mentally ill just got the best of him, so he punched him several times and hurt Arnie. As soon as he left he house he realized to never hurt Arnie and how much Arnie meant to him. To me, this was a very powerful scene and made me realize many things about family and love. Gilbert came back into Arnie's life and made sure to never hit him and showed him the love he wanted to show. I personally thought this was a great movie because it teaches how strong a family can be, and even though things can be very tough at times, as long as you stick together as a tight family that is all that matters.
You seemed to really like that certain scene in the movie. Did you like the entire movie though? From what I can tell from your review, you would recommend it to other people. I thought the movie was okay in general but there were some powerful scenes.
