I don't know why in the hell people are complaining it's cliche, it's messy blah blah blah. You know form the previews what you're getting. An x-con with a heart of gold. A boy in the wrong body, gay, confused, trans and to top it off he's saddled with a druggie mom. You know what's going to happen. Doesn't make it any the less heartwarming and sweet. I think JT (Palmer) did a great job, I've always thought he was a decent actor. Sam was really good, as far a child actor go, I think he's got it! It's a feel good movie, so if you don't like that kind of movie, then don't watch it. Pretty simple if you ask me. If you like a sweet film then watch it.

JT is an incredible musician, humanitarian, and an incredible actor! He has been overlooked by the Academy for far too long. This quiet, understated performance may by his very finest role yet. The whole cast was so great that it was easy to forget that you were watching a movie. Everyone seemed like people I've known. The scrip was pitch perfect! Check this one out!

Bad at all, except for an abrupt everything is gonna be allrait as mr marley sang once upon a time to woman that shouldnt cry because everything is better than nothing at all, and if it hadnt been for that cheesy ending...

but by all means its a sad and tragic but ever so uplifting drama, carried on mr timberlake and a young actor by the name ryder allen shoulders, who at moments made my ovula drivel and shake from crampy tearjerking convulsions, great dynamics to say the least.

because its a film against all odds, the convict, and the neglected child, of a methaddicted mother that criss crosses and leaves when she wants and leaves the childcare to closest neighbour on a nonwritten agreement with the local child services, until the neighbour dies and the convict that lives with his grandma (the neighbour) get the unwilling job to care for a child he doesnt like...(cant tell more)

its a grumpy and gritty justin t. we meet and that he does pretty well.im not familiar with timberlake on the silver screen but he doesnt dissapoint the grumpy old man. ''palmer'' may feel a little long and has a rather unrealistic finale except for that its a recommend...p.s. if you dont feel the urge to cry at least once you must be a cold stone...
